Add support of 2 stage NAND boot loader in cornet platforms using SPL framework.

In current secenrio size of u-boot can become >=512KB. So This patch set will be 
helpful for those SoC which has less internal SRAM(512KB).

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(768 KB) from flash to DDR.
Finally SPL transer control to u-boot for futher booting.

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

 Run time view of SPL framework :-
