-------------------------------------------------
   Simple steps used to test the QSPI at U-Boot
-------------------------------------------------

For #1, build the patched U-Boot and load MLO/u-boot.img

----------------------------------
Boot from another medium like MMC
----------------------------------

U-Boot# mmc dev 0
mmc0 is current device
U-Boot# fatload mmc 0 0x82000000 MLO
reading MLO
55872 bytes read in 8 ms (6.7 MiB/s)
U-Boot# fatload mmc 0 0x83000000 u-boot.img
reading u-boot.img
248600 bytes read in 19 ms (12.5 MiB/s)

--------------------------------------------------
Commands to erase/write u-boot/mlo to flash device

For #2, set sysboot to QSPI-1 boot mode(SYSBOOT[5:0] = 100110) and power
on. ROM should find the GP header at offset 0 and load/execute SPL. SPL
then detects that ROM was in QSPI-1 mode (boot code 10) and attempts to
find a U-Boot image header at offset 0x20000 (set in the config file)
and proceeds to load that image using the U-Boot image payload offset/size
from the header. It will then start U-Boot.
