The problem is that on TI platforms these values have meaning defined by
ROM (which changes occasionally).  When ROM starts us up, we get a
little bit of info that says "I found and loaded you on ...".  So while
we could move towards moving BOOT_DEVICE_FOO into <spl.h> we'd need in
arch/arm/cpu/armv7/omap-common/boot-common.c some logic to translate
from ROM numbers to U-Boot numbers.
