Bernhard Nortmann a188438175 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).

* We use a simplified header, only filling in what is needed

* padding.

* Actually we want the ability to recognize our "sunxi" variant
* of the SPL. To do so, let's place a special signature into the
* "pub_head_size" field. We can reasonably expect Allwinner's
* boot0 to always have the upper 16 bits of this set to 0 (after
* all the value shouldn't be larger than the limit imposed by
* SRAM size).
* If the signature is present (at 0x14), then we know it's safe
* to use the remaining 8 bytes (at 0x18) for our own purposes.
* (E.g. sunxi-tools "fel" utility can pass information there.)
