Every now and then someone wants to chain-load U-Boot on a Chromebook. The procedure is not very complicated but there are some oddities.
This series updates a few things with allow U-Boot to start on nyan-big in this way and adds documentation on how to do it. This provides a central place where the procedure on different devices can be documented.

Thank You for this Simon! Very much appreciated! I am going to give this a try later tonight and report back my personal results...

Confirmed! Chain-loading working on my nyan_big. I appreciate this very much Simon and all who contributed.
I'd like to pull in this series. Are there any comments / reviews? If affects both tegra and rockchip.
I'm fine with it - I assume you'll pull it in to one of your repos and post a PR to get it into mainstream U-Boot? I don't have the HW to test on (my nyan-big has been shelved), but trust in Matthew's testing, and that Stephen's U-Boot test scripts will catch any problems, so LGTM.
Thanks for looking at this.
Yes, my testing should catch most issues with any patches, although there are still some coverage holes:
- I don't test cold boot; U-boot is always loaded over USB RCM which may
hide bugs specific to cold booting.
I tested cold bold on Nyan, but I use USB RCM also so don't normally test cold boot.
- I only test on a few HW platforms (beaver, dalmore, Jetson TK1,
p2371-0000, Jetson TX1)
That's plenty :-)
- Obviously I don't test the new features introduced by this patch;
chain-loading.
It's OK I can rely on others for that so long as the changes are acceptable to the normal boot case.
Regards, Simon
