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.
I guess we would need to have kind of the same check at compile time for ARM64 then. I'm not sure exactly how that would be doable though...
Me neither without digging deeply into the build system ;-)
By the way, can you point me to the part which triggers the generation of u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin? This does not get generated for ARM64 at the moment, though it should. And this is probably the place where the check lives for ARM.
Cheers, Andre.
