[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH 0/5] 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 patch adds DFU support in SPL to flash binary
images to factory or bare-metal boards to memory 
devices like SPI, 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.

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.
