IIRC this range is used by BootROM for reading SPL.
Ok, I can imagine some very special configuration where SPL kwbimage is
stored on eMMC, eMMC is used for BootROM booting, but ENV is stored on
non-standard SPI flash, which BootROM cannot access, but U-Boot yes.
So maybe I should add another #ifdef guard e.g. ?
#ifdef CONFIG_MVEBU_SPL_BOOT_DEVICE_SPI
