SPL is community effort and not supported flow by Xilinx. If you want to
use it, use it but don't expect any help from Xilinx to help you with
issues. I take care about it, use it but there is no planning behind. I
am fixing issues for me and for the rest please send a patch and I will
take a look. As far as I know JTAG, SD and qspi(but limited) flows
should work. I use SD boot most of the time.
If you want to pack bitstream to u-boot.img/itb then it should be quite
easy to do and all things are in place.
Using FSBL as the part of open source flow. I don't think this is going
to happen because mainline u-boot is using mkimage for boot.bin
generation and fsbl requires more partitions in boot.bin which is not
supported.
Definitely patches welcome.
Thanks,
Michal
