I just noticed that I missed sending the SPL bootcount implementation I
did a few weeks ago to the list. I'll send it shortly. The main
differences I see right now are:

- My implementation requires CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT and
  CONFIG_SPL_BOOTCOUNT_SUPPORT to be configured

- The check is not added to the board-specific code, but the
  medium code (here spl_nor.c). This might be consolidated even
  more by moving it to a non-boot-medium specific location (spl.c)?

Please take a look at it and let me know if which way to go.

Thanks,
Stefan
