it passes a build test on the 8313, but applying the same change to the
8315 still fails to build with bootstrap too big errors, because it
still suffers from the extra bits.  At least now it's buildable, so
we have some size info for the curious:

before (fits):

$ size ./nand_spl/board/freescale/mpc8315erdb/start.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   1528	     12	      0	   1540	    604	./nand_spl/board/freescale/mpc8315erdb/start.o

after (too big):

$ size ./nand_spl/board/freescale/mpc8315erdb/start.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   1588	     20	      0	   1608	    648	./nand_spl/board/freescale/mpc8315erdb/start.o

and there are other 83xx nand boards; please at least MAKEALL 83xx
before resubmitting.

Thanks,

Kim
