Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 0/6] SPL: DFU Support in SPL

Traditionally the DFU support is available only as part 2nd stage boot loader(u-boot) and DFU is not supported in SPL.

The SPL-DFU feature is useful for boards which has only USB inteface and do not have external interface like ethernet or MMC/SD to boot the board.

This feature enable DFU to be builtin part of SPL and boot the u-boot directly by loading u-boot image to RAM from PC using dfu-util.

This patch series adds DFU support in SPL to flash binary images to factory or bare-metal boards to memory devices like SPI, RAM, eMMC, MMC/SD card using USB interface.
As a reference, refer to application note [3] on SPL-DFU support based on 2014.07 u-boot.

steps for SPL-DFU/RAM:
1) Soc ROMcode loads the u-boot-spl.bin(+DFU) to IRAM from PC host via usb interface and execute DFU(RAM/SPI).
2) if DFU/RAM is selected, then load u-boot.img to RAM using dfu-util from PC-host.
3) After loading u-boot, press ctrl+c to exit to jump to u-boot. Once u-boot

steps for SPL-DFU/SPI:
1) Soc ROMcode loads the u-boot-spl.bin(+DFU) to IRAM from PC host via usb interface and execute DFU(RAM/SPI).
2) If DFU/SPI is selected, then load MLO/u-boot/kernel/dtb images directly to spi partitions.

Note: I could not find better option to isolate dfu source to include/exclude in Makefile when SPL-DFU feature enabled/disabled, please suggest any better option.

Tested on dra7xx SoCs family.
[1] is EVM console output with SPL-DFU/SPI enabled.
[2] is ubuntu host console output.
