In most cases, the SPL and u-boot.img will be on the same boot media. Since the SPL was loaded by the boot rom, the pinmux will already have been configured for this media.

I've encountered this on a beaglebone black with a corrupted EEPROM. Removing this check allowed the board to boot successfully. I've also seen this on EVM-based boards with an unprogrammed EEPROM. On those boards, for some reason there were no UART messages. This made it look as if the SOC was dead.
Remove the hang(), as it is not a fatal error. Also reformat the error message to be clearer as to the cause. The original message made it appear as if the wrong binary was being loaded.
