> This commit enables imx28 based XEA board's u-boot.sb (SPL) to download
> u-boot proper (u-boot.img) via Ymodem protocol.
> This is extremely useful in the recovery scenario where u-boot.sb is
> downloaded via uuu utility to SDRAM [*], and then one can upload u-boot
> proper via serial console to fully debrick the device.
> Note - debricking procedure of imx28 devices:
> - NXP's original USB based tools (like mxsldr or uuu) expect single
>   u-boot.sb which is a relic of the old U-Boot (~2013) without SPL and
>   U-Boot proper distinction.
