Ideally? Yes, Possible today?  Not sure.  I have a hazy recollection
that it wasn't so easy when I tried adding some build rules to one of
the config.mk files.  When I post SPI SPL for am335x support I'll try
again since for that I need to add a rule to generate a byte-swapped
MLO file.  If that can go somewhere other than spl/Makefile that would
be nice (but needs to be visible to a number of TI SoCs is an issue).
