There are much less errors which is good sign but still
imx28_xea_defconfig shows this.

.../arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd.real: drivers/core/ofnode.o: in function 
`ofnode_get_property':
/mnt/disk/u-boot/drivers/core/ofnode.c:1185: undefined reference to `fdt_getprop'
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.spl:527: spl/u-boot-spl] Error 1


And SPL is bigger for taurus_defconfig and axm_defconfig.

And can you please rebase it on the top of next branch?

Thanks,
Michal
