[U-Boot] [PATCH v5 1/3] arm: spl: Fix SPL booting for OMAP3

Fix a problem with a re-assignment of r8 in the SPL version.

This patch now moves the call to s_init() to a later stage, right before
calling board_init_f(). And makes sure that r8 is correctly initialized
before s_init() is called. r8 now is only written in crt0.S.

This error was detected on the SPL port for the Compulab CM-T35 board
(OMAP3530).

Albert, I'm not really happy with this patch as it evolves now. As you
will see, I had to make some further additions to crt0.S to fix a
problem for non-SPL builds and to fix compilation errors for non-OMAP
platforms. This gets quite ugly now. Looking back at my patch v1, this
looks much less intrusive.

What do you think?

v5:
- Fix a problem with non-SPL build on OMAP3 where s_init() needs
  to get called (if CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT is not defined).
  With the "code shuffling" in v3, s_init() was only called in the
  SPL U-Boot version.
- Fix compilation problem for non-OMAP platforms with assigning
  gdata to r8 (e.g. tx25).
  
v4:
- Corrected commit text to reflect changed patch

v3:
- Some code shuffling in crt0.S as requested by Albert

v2:
- Change handling/initializing of r8 as suggested by Albert.
  It should only be written in crt0.S.
