Hey Daniel,

The approach seems good. Some comments inline

> This patch makes possible using single `u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin` binary
> for both NAND memory and SD card. Detection where SPL was read from is
> implemented in `spl_boot_device`.
>
> Detection is performed only if `CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT` is defined. Unless
> SD card contains valid signature we assume, that SPL was read from NAND.

​Maybe_unused? Either reserve it or don't. If you only need them for
​​CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT, then ifdef around it. Also, why are you
reserving half a K if you are only going to use 12 bytes? And if you need
to round up, can't you just malloc it from SDRAM instead of reserving this
space in SRAM like this?

​Is this not supposed to be ​mmc0 =
find_mmc_device(CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV​);
 ? I'm not entirely sure, Hans, how should this constant be interpreted?

​String terminator? I'd just use strncmp or try the same comparisons as
