Cool, thanks for proposing this. While I'm not really in a position to
review these, just one comment below.

Is there any reason U-Boot proper must support squashfs if the SPL does?
This isn't quite specific to this patch; I see a number of 'config
SPL_FOO' that either depends on or selects FOO (e.g. SPL_FS_FAT), and I
wonder why.
