Hi Simon,

Apologies for the delay in reply. I was out of office.

I don't know why this is happening because, as far as I know, right
now we are running both 5420 and 5800 at 900 MHz. We are not using
dmc node to extract and scale to the max freq value. I will check
again and fix any side effects due to this.

No, as far as I know, IROM USB entry points are same because we are
using same entry point in firmware-pit-4482.B branch, which works fine.

On my board SD boot works fine and I see U-Boot prompt everytime I boot.

I compared and found SDRAM init same as the one in firmware-pit-4482.B
branch. It should not be the cause.

I changed download_list in ExynosFlashImage of write_firmware.py
script to load my bins instead of the ones residing in firmware
directory. It works fine for Pit but for Pi, it fails while loading
u-boot-dtb.bin and EC log shows "XPSHOLD not seen in time" which is
very strange because if SPL was not executed who was trying to download
u-boot binary. 
I will now try to fix this download failure.

I couldn't find any MP board here.
Tested these patches over PV1 and PV2.

Steps I followed for testing -

$ make peach-pi_config
$ make -j32
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.bl1.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=512 seek=1
$ sudo dd if=spl/smdk5420-spl.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=512 seek=17
$ sudo dd if=u-boot-dtb.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=512 seek=49
