On a stylistic note, typically cover letters are not used for single
patches (but feel free to use them for larger series).

Shouldn't this be

#if CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(XIP)

?

ditto for the rest of these

from the standard boot process?

Also, it seems like we already have SPL_XIP_SUPPORT. Maybe we can reuse that?

What is this part doing? It's not mentioned in the commit message.
