Yes. I prefer actually to remove the old NAND_SPL style complete
in this cleanup step, because nobody is using it yet. And if
someone use this code for SPL, it must be adapted.

We need it, because we have defined CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
(at least for the enbw_cmc board), and this is a copy from
arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/start.S ... I tend to change
arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/start.S, so we always execute
this code from arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/start.S and don't
need it here anymore:

added this defines to arch/arm/include/asm/arch-davinci/hardware.h

Changed this. You need now a CONFIG_SYS_DA850_SYSCFG_SUSPSRC
in your board config.

I prefer it this way, but as I said, if we come to the result
to use it like the da850evm way, it is ok with me.

Maybe this is a way to prevent the weak function, yes.

If you don't need this code, do nothing. The weak function for this is
a dummy function. Maybe boards will use gpios early, as I use this on
the enbw_cmc board.

We could check if CONFIG_SYS_DA850_CS2CFG/CONFIG_SYS_DA850_CS3CFG
is defined, and if not, dont init the register.

This must be done before using the uart as a console, and I think
this should be done in common code as early as possible.

As no boards use this code except the new enbw_cmc port, there
are no such boards ... if somebody want to use this feature, it
must be adapted here, yes.
