Thanks for setting up a branch for easier testing. I've rebased the
CuBox support patch series [1] on top of your branch and tested the
result. SPI flash support worked before on CuBox, but fails with your
branch.

At build time, the following warnings are issued (found using
DBGFLAGS="-g -Werror"):

At run time, automatically reading the environment from SPI flash
fails. "sf probe" and "sf read" both appear to work, but "sf probe"
reports 64KiB page size and "sf read" only yields 0xff rather than the
U-Boot binary that's at the start of SPI flash:

Is there something that needs to be done differently now? Some
additional function to call in board setup code or defines to set in the
board configuration?
