+ * BootROM loads the header part of kwbimage into L2 cache. BIN header usually
+ * contains U-Boot SPL, optionally it can also contain additional arguments.
+ * The number of these arguments is in r0, pointer to the argument array in r1.
+ * BootROM expects executable BIN header code to return to address stored in lr.
+ * Other registers (r2 - r12) must be preserved. We save all registers to
+ * CONFIG_SPL_BOOTROM_SAVE address. BIN header arguments (passed via r0 and r1)
+ * are currently not used by U-Boot SPL binary.
