+Falcon Mode relies on the SPL framework. In fact, to make booting faster,

A new command is added +to U-Boot to prepare the parameters that SPL must pass to the kernel, using +ATAGS or Device Tree.
From the above text it seems the Falcon Mode is already available in
SD-Card however this is not truth. Please rework this so it is clear what is already working and what needs to be done.
