Andre,

Need your comment on this.
Since you created spl_load_simple_fit() and it is used for both loading 
kernel and U-Boot (and other images), it favors "firmware" over 
"loadables" when booting U-Boot. I added CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT to favor 
"kernel". However, if your image contains both kernel and U-Boot and you 
intend to boot U-Boot, this will break when CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT is 
defined. In this case, I can drop detecting "kernel" and use "loadables" 
to find kernel image.

Please respond.
