[U-Boot] SPL boot modes

[Simon Schwarz]

Hi Joel,

The current release (based on u-boot-ti) is V9: 
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/Simon/OMAP3_SPL_V9/

Or V10 
http://mid.gmane.org/1315949258-12064-1-git-send-email-trini@ti.com 
(based on u-boot-arm)

Actually this may already work (although I haven't tested it yet). If 
you define CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT and CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT (plus the 
necessary defines for them) in your board header it is looking for the 
bootdevice the ROM code used and tries to load  the image from it.

If you try MMC with OMAP3 I would appreciate a message if it works or not.

Regards
Simon
