Yes, I assume so. In v2 of the patch series I have simply enabled
CONFIG_BOUNCE_BUFFER unconditionally on Tegra, which removes the need
for any SPL-specific changes.

Before enabling it:

Configuring for trimslice board...
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 245625	   9304	 274968	 529897	  815e9	./u-boot
  14451	    208	     72	  14731	   398b	./spl/u-boot-spl

After enabling it:

Configuring for trimslice board...
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 245742	   9304	 274964	 530010	  8165a	./u-boot
  14451	    208	     72	  14731	   398b	./spl/u-boot-spl

SPL didn't change since, so this seems to be working fine.
