So, what does CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO actually mean, in this case?  And
SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR ?  What I'm getting at is that we
generally have some required to be fixed (by the SoC/ROM/etc) locations
some parts of our SPL/TPL/U-Boot need to be at and then the rest of the
values are (supposed to be) well and carefully chosen offsets and not
changed around.  So with the above comment in the code to explain where
8355840 came from, it also shouldn't and nor should
CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR be changed without a compelling
reason.
