Thanks for working on this, I like the direction where this is heading,
if Albert is ok with the start.S changes this would be an excellent way
to fix FEL mode for v2015.04.
WRT you going to far when also building a u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin when
FEL is enabled, your right, AFAIK that binary will not work when written
to sdcard because FEL mode has a CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE of 0x2000 where
as non FEL has CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE set to 0x0020.
But we've discussed in the past to use 0x2000 everywhere, this would mean
moving the stack pointer to 0x2000 instead of 0x8000, and then making
the normal SPL fit between 0x2000 - 0x8000.
All you need to change then AFAIK is tools/mksunxiboot.c so that the jump
instruction which is the first 32 bit word of the header it generates jumps
to 0x2000 rather then 0x0020, and then we may be able to have a unified
build which does both FEL and regular SPL for sdcard boot.

Hans
