I used a suggestion made by Christian Riesch and accepted by Tom Rini.

I'm totally cool with any name that the U-Boot core maintainers would like to use, 
though I would prefer a shorter name than "u-boot-with-spl.bin" because I'm lazy 
and don't like to type too many keys when I upgrade by tftp :-) Because of that I 
think I would prefer "u-boot-all.bin". So, everybody agrees with that name?

Best regards,
José Gonçalves
