H A Dmksunxiboot.ca188438175bd5fb4ef0440c9fdd0ded8b5640b3d Thu Sep 17 16:52:51 UTC 2015 Bernhard Nortmann <bernhard.nortmann@web.de> sunxi: (mksunxiboot) signature to indicate "sunxi" SPL variant

This patch follows up on a discussion of ways to improve support
for the sunxi FEL ("USB boot") mechanism, especially with regard
to boot scripts, see:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/linux-sunxi/wBEGUoLNRro/rHGq6nSYCQAJ

The idea is to convert the (currently unused) "pad" bytes in the
SPL header into an area where data can be passed to U-Boot. To
do this safely, we have to make sure that we're actually using
our "sunxi" flavor of the SPL, and not the Allwinner boot0.

The modified mksunxiboot introduces a special signature to the
SPL header in place of the "pub_head_size" field. This can be
used to reliably distinguish between compatible versions of sunxi
SPL and anything else (older variants or Allwinner's boot0).
