While I haven't tested this patchset - I have tested SPI booting with 
v2022.01 after applying lots of patches.
I found that the magic value reported by bootrom when booting from SPI 
will be 0x34 on clearfog.
The current sources only handle 0x32, hence having or not having SPL_SPI 
will always lead to returning to the bootrom.

Please consider pulling in this patch:
https://github.com/SolidRun/u-boot/commit/f4f8a69740a8415c05359e01e51650f445cda03d
I can send it separately if you like.

which I have tested by adding these config options:

|CONFIG_MVEBU_SPL_BOOT_DEVICE_SPI=y # CONFIG_MVEBU_SPL_BOOT_DEVICE_MMC 
is not set # CONFIG_SPL_MMC is not set CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT=y 
CONFIG_SPL_SPI=y CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_TINY=y CONFIG_SPL_SPI_LOAD=y 
CONFIG_SYS_SPI_U_BOOT_OFFS=0x0 # CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC is not set

CONFIG_USE_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ is not set # CONFIG_USE_ENV_SPI_MODE is not 
set # CONFIG_ENV_SPI_EARLY is not set CONFIG_ENV_ADDR=0x0|
