[U-Boot] [RFC] [PATCH] omap-common: Common boot code OMAP3 support and cleanup

[Paul Kocialkowski]

This patch introduces some changes to the omap common boot code, to allow the
omap3 to benefit from it, but also to clean it up drastically.
It was tested on an OMAP3 device booting from MMC.

Since this also affects OMAP4, OMAP5 and AM33xx devices, I'm looking forward
to having this tested on boards using those platforms. Since I do not own any
such device, I cannot do the testing on them myself.

While writing this patch, I came to learn about the boot device descriptor, as
mentioned in the "Device Initialization by ROM Code" part of the OMAP36xx TRM.
The booting parameter structure (for which the address is given in r0 by the
bootrom when starting the U-Boot SPL) holds the address of that device
descriptor, but I could not find any description of what its contents are.

However, it was apparently being used on != OMAP3 devices, so I just adapted
the same logic blindly and used the traditional switch/case for omap3.
That said, the OMAP3 also has this descriptor, so I tried to read it when
booting the U-Boot SPL from MMC. I got the following:

boot device descriptor at 0x4020fbc0
boot device descriptor device data at 0x4020f524
boot mode ends up being 4

Now I would be interested in precise documentation about the fields of that
descriptor (and that device data too) where the mmc boot mode is supposed to be
stored. The value on omap3 is not usable as-is, so it's either a wrong offset
or the mmc boot mode is not part of the structure on omap3.

If there is no reason to use a static switch/case for omap3, I'd much rather do
away with it. If not, I'd like to have certainty about that fact.

In order to list the various values held there, here is a diff that I applied.
I would be happy to get feedback from other omap platforms. It goes on top of
this patch:
