This is based on the top of Heiko patch.
Heiko patch is fixing problem where you have SPL enabled but you don't have
any SPL serial output
which you can't track.
My patch is fixing different problem which is that you have SPL enabled and
SPL serial is also there
but your booting flow has not SPL there. For example testing on QEMU.
Testing without reruning SPL.
Testing the same u-boot elf with different bootloader.
That's why we talked about adding option to user to skip SPL checking via
boardenv file.

Thanks,
Michal
