This is not quite accurate, can you please change this to something like 
(feel free to amend):
=======
Enables support for executing an explicit boot script uploaded before 
via the USB FEL protocol. The 'fel_scriptaddr' environment variable 
holds the address of this script, taken from the SPL header.
=======

(The flow is: The sunxi-fel tool detects an mkimage script file among 
its command line parameters, and amends the uploaded SPL header to store 
its upload address. U-Boot proper will detect the address in the SPL 
header, and sets the fel_scriptaddr variable.)

The actual code looks alright, and it seems to work (TM).

Just one thing I noticed:
....
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
** Booting bootflow '<NULL>' with fel
Hello from FEL script!

Is this <NULL> expected? Shall there be anything better in there?

Cheers,
Andre
