As I said in previous version patches, it is not always to have some
functionalities in Linux and dual flash is useful for bootloader in
Xilinx Zynq IP's.  True that nothing has been done in Linux front and
even we asked about the "plan of work" on this context to Michal and
Siva in previous mails, unfortunately no is responded. On that note
I'm fine with going this change, thanks.
