Hello Kevin,
   These are the changes that would be necessary in uboot mainline for SPL:

arch/arm/cpu/armv7/exynos/Kconfig
-       select OF_CONTROL
+       select SUPPORT_SPL
+       select OF_CONTROL if !SPL_BUILD

configs/odroid-xu3_defconfig
+CONFIG_SPL=y

include/configs/odroid_xu3.h
#undef CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
#define CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE           0x02027000

#undef CONFIG_SEC_FW_SIZE
#define CONFIG_SEC_FW_SIZE (15 << 10) /* 15 KB */

 FWICT, mainline uboot does not have code to handle secure firmware.
For instance when secure firmware is present the address to poke a
jump address for the CPU is different (nsram +1c etc). This stems from
lowlevel_init.S being moved over to the NS area. This is also missing
in uboot mainline or so I think.

I hope this helps you out.

The ddr init functions seem to be not correct for the 5422 (or so I
think). I do not have access to any of the Samsung docs, hence, one
solution was to copy over HKs ddr init function, and then the mainline
SPL runs.

Regards
