[U-Boot] [PATCH V3] mx28: fix SPL code to make USB booting work

> This patch fixes booting i.MX28 CPUs via USB download.
> In this mode the CPU's bootrom implements a USB HID device that
> accepts a bootstream.
> 
> When downloading the bootstream via USB, first the SPL code is
> received and executed. Then the u-boot image is received and
> called.
> 
> The USB bootmode is interrupt driven.
> 
> This patch fixes two things:
> 
> 1) The ARM's fast interrupt mode is disabled when the SPL code
> has been run. So save and restore the CPSR register.
> 
> 2) Save and restore c1 control register: the exception vector
> location needs to be set back to bootrom space to make the USB
> interrupts work again. The SPL code needs to change this
> option for the ram size probing.

Yep, looks fine. Stefano, can you apply? Or shall I start hand-picking these 
mx28 patches and then send you a pullrq?
