Adding SPL-specific code
------------------------
To check whether a feature is enabled, use CONFIG_IS_ENABLED()::
if (CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(CLK))
...
This checks CONFIG_CLK for the main build, CONFIG_SPL_CLK for the SPL build,
CONFIG_TPL_CLK for the TPL build, etc.
U-Boot Phases
-------------
U-Boot boots through the following phases:
TPL
Very early init, as tiny as possible. This loads SPL.
SPL
Secondary program loader. Sets up SDRAM and loads U-Boot proper. It may also
load other firmware components.
U-Boot
U-Boot proper, containing the command line and boot logic.
Checking the boot phase
-----------------------
Use `spl_phase()` to find the current U-Boot phase, e.g. `PHASE_SPL`. You can
also find the previous and next phase and get the phase name.
Device tree
-----------
The U-Boot device tree is filtered by the fdtgrep tools during the build
