I want to skip to next page, not next block.

Good idea.

Not exactly. The OneNAND only exposes first 1kb of the contents (aka 1 half of 
the page 0 in my case). That's why I link all of the relevant code there and the 
rest of the SPL is aligned beyond that. Then I copy the whole SPL to SRAM and 
execute it again. Then I init DRAM, copy U-Boot there and run it. Simple, isn't 
it.

They are, by dram_init();

They are actually needed outside.

Basically, on this board this is the same thing.
