Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] spl: add a new stub spl_early_board_init() for early SoC-specific setup

We are generally supposed to implement SoC/board-specific SPL init code in spl_board_init(), but it is called after spl_init() where the FDT is setup and devices are bound.

This new stub spl_early_board_init() would be useful to put something really SoC-specific, for example, debug_uart_init().

In fact, I was hit by some problems on FDT setup when I was tackling on a completely new platform. I wished I could use the debug UART earlier in situations like that.

This is usually done with s_init() and uniphier opts out of that. I would conceed however that things could use some further clean-up and organization here.
