Yes, on Tegra SPL runs on an ARMv4t and main U-Boot on some ARMv7 CPU. 
The change above is actively incorrect.

The OF_CONTROL change is probably incorrect too; we certainly don't 
intend to use OF_CONTROL in the SPL (there's really nothing to control 
in the SPL) - I just don't know if enabling that feature will cause any 
issue. Things to look out for would be bloat of the SPL binary so that 
it didn't fit into the space before the main binary's TEXT_BASE, since 
the two get concatenated together into a single binary that's loaded 
into RAM, and XIP'd.
