Add support of 2 stage NAND boot loader in cornet platforms using SPL framework.
This will be helpful for those SoC which has less internal SRAM(256K) like T1040.

here, PBL initialise the internal SRAM and copy SPL(192K) in SRAM. 
SPL further initialise DDR using SPD and environment variables and copy
u-boot(512 KB) from NAND flash to DDR.
Finally SPL transer control to u-boot for futher booting. 

SPL has following features:
 - Executes within 256K
 - SPL size 192K
 - No relocation required 

 Run time view of SPL framework
 ==============================
 -----------------------------------------------
 Area        | Address                         |
 -----------------------------------------------
 GD, BD      | 0x0xFFFC0000 (4K)               |
 -----------------------------------------------
 HEAP        | 0xFFFC1000 (40K) grow downwards |
 -----------------------------------------------
 STACK       | 0xFFFD0000 (20K) grow upwards   |
 -----------------------------------------------
 U-boot SPL  | 0xfffD0000 -  0xfffffffc (192K) |
 -----------------------------------------------
