Thanks I've merged this one into u-boot-sunxi/next, for inclusion
into u-boot v2015.10, I've fixed a few typos in the commit message
and clarified the commit message a bit.

Pantelis, since this is an mmc patch may we have your ack for this
one please? It is a dep for some sunxi changes so it is probably
easiest if I just merge it through the sunxi tree.

Some background, we are adding support for booting from nand,
and as such we need to make spl_boot_device() for sunxi
smarter. The sunxi BROM does not communicate where it has
loaded the SPL from, so we simply retrace it steps trying
mmc0 first and looking for a valid bootsignature there.

This means calling mmc_initialize() from spl_boot_device()
and if spl_boot_device() then finds a boot signature
and returns BOOT_DEVICE_MMC1, then later on
spl_mmc_load_image() will call mmc_initialize() a second
time, this patch protects against this second call and
turns the second call into a nop.

Regards,

Hans
