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.

- Add a README entry.
- Add correct writebufsize, to fit with Linux v3.14
MTD, UBI/UBIFS sync.
Note (From Jagan): For testing raw mtd parition erase/read/write operations
using cmd_sf, sf_mtd should be required to register the spi flash device to
MTD layer but the sf_mtd_info ops were not required until and unless if we
use any flash filesystem layer say for example UBI. Due to this the foot-print
got increased ~290bytes in non-UBI case here that should be acceptible.

This patch introduces SPL to enable a loader stub that being loaded by
the code from the internal on-chip ROM. It loads the final uboot image
into DDR, then jump to it to begin execution.
The SPL's size is sizeable, the maximum size must not exceed the size of L2
SRAM. It initializes the DDR through SPD code, and copys final uboot image
to DDR. So there are two stage uboot images:
* spl_boot, 96KB size. The env variables are copied to L2 SRAM, so that
ddr spd code can get the interleaving mode setting in env. It loads
final uboot image from offset 96KB.
* final uboot image, size is variable depends on the functions enabled.

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.
