Now that more and more devices are built using eMMC, providing a way to easily flash the system without too much hassle seems like a right thing to do.
Since fastboot is the most deployed tool to do that these days, we can just rely on it to provide a way to flash the various components in the system (SPL, U-Boot and the system itself) easily, especially since you can upload the U-Boot hosting the fastboot "server" through FEL.

The binary size for 32-bit targets is still reasonable with this addition (thanks to Thumb2).
But if I enable MUSB for the Pine64 it generates a 537KB u-boot.itb. And the build process does not complain, I guess because I don't generate a combined binary (glueing SPL in front). But this isn't really caused by this patch, so just a heads up.
Cheers, Andre.
