The sunxi-specific SPI load routine only knows how to load a legacy
U-Boot image.
Teach it how to handle FIT images as well, simply by providing the
existing SPL FIT loader with the right loader routine to access the SPI
NOR flash.

Addresses passed on to readl and writel are expected to be of the same
size as a pointer. Change the parameter types of sunxi_spi0_read_data()
to make the compiler happy and allow a warning-free aarch64 compile.

It is useful to name each method so that we can print out this name when
using the method. Currently this happens using a separate function. In
preparation for unifying this, add a name to each method.
The name is only available if we have libcommon support (i.e can use
printf()).

Somehow an int returning function without a return statement sneaked
in, fix it.
Also fix some whitespace damage on the way.

Add a linker list declaration for this method and remove the explicit
switch() code. Also set up the sunxi function.

At present some spl_xxx_load_image() functions take a parameter and some
don't. Of those that do, most take an integer but one takes a string.
Convert this parameter into a struct so that we can pass all functions the
same thing. This will allow us to use a common function signature.

Instead of using the global spl_image variable, pass the required struct in

Allwinner devices support SPI flash as one of the possible
bootable media type. The SPI flash chip needs to be connected
to SPI0 pins (port C) to make this work. More information is
available at:
https://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SPI_flash
This patch adds the initial support for booting from SPI flash.
The existing SPI frameworks are not used in order to reduce the
SPL code size. Right now the SPL size grows by ~370 bytes when
CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUNXI option is enabled.
While there are no popular Allwinner devices with SPI flash at
the moment, testing can be done using a SPI flash module (it
can be bought for ~2$ on ebay) and jumper wires with the boards,
which expose relevant pins on the expansion header. The SPI flash
chips themselves are very cheap (some prices are even listed as
low as 4 cents) and should not cost much if somebody decides to
design a development board with an SPI flash chip soldered on
the PCB.
Another nice feature of the SPI flash is that it can be safely
accessed in a device-independent way (since we know that the
boot ROM is already probing these pins during the boot time).
And if, for example, Olimex boards opted to use SPI flash instead
of EEPROM, then they would have been able to have U-Boot installed
in the SPI flash now and boot the rest of the system from the SATA
hard drive. Hopefully we may see new interesting Allwinner based
development boards in the future, now that the software support
for the SPI flash is in a better shape :-)
Testing can be done by enabling the CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUNXI option
in a board defconfig, then building U-Boot and finally flashing
the resulting u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin binary over USB OTG with
a help of the sunxi-fel tool:
sunxi-fel spiflash-write 0 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
The device needs to be switched into FEL (USB recovery) mode first.
The most suitable boards for testing are Orange Pi PC and Pine64.
Because these boards are cheap, have no built-in NAND/eMMC and
expose SPI0 pins on the Raspberry Pi compatible expansion header.
The A13-OLinuXino-Micro board also can be used.
