Thanks for your patch reviews. Will fix up your comments and submit a
new batch of patches later tonight.

There have long been thougts about moving the SPL DRAM controller
parameters to a boot header added by mksunxiboot instead of wiring them
into the source.

Which tool for generating images? mksunxiboot? The SPL image is built
automatically.

But yes, a README explaining how to install the SPL would help. We do
have a bit of a such README but I see now that it's slightly misplaced
as tools/mksunxiboot.README, should move do doc/README.sunxi and
expanded a bit.

NAND is coming once we get the NAND controller under reasonable control.
It's a little too smart controller to fit nicely in mtd, and not exactly
well documented. Plus that many boards are using NAND chips not
recognised by u-boot mtd code.

Support for booting from MMC2 is also coming.

There is no known boards using SPI boot media so this probably will not
get added in the near future.

NOR is not supported by the SoC other than in SPI package.
