Hi,

now this really confuses me.

commit 0db0ba6141f402b1d496ef53d9fa69978f75ec61 has explicitly made
u-boot the firmware and moved atf into the loadables on NXP i.MX.
Here you do the complete opposite for sunxi.

Can people please make up their minds how it is *supposed* to work?

Oh, and your previous diff about the "minimal os parsing", I need that
too for my use-case, so I like that one!

Patrick
