[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH] nand_spl: display warning message to inform the end of nand_spl

Now we have two different frameworks for doing the same thing. I'd like to propose to drop nand_spl framework. How about deleting it before v2014.07 release?
In the interim, this commit will display a warning message when compiling nand_spl board.
Now we have 19 nand_spl boards:
MPC8315ERDB_NAND SIMPC8313_LP SIMPC8313_SP MPC8536DS_NAND MPC8569MDS_NAND MPC8572DS_NAND P1023RDS_NAND P1011RDB_NAND P1020RDB_NAND P2010RDB_NAND P2020RDB_NAND acadia_nand bamboo_nand canyonlands_nand glacier_nand haleakala_nand kilauea_nand rainier_nand sequoia_nand
They must be ported to SPL before the deadline, otherwise they will be removed.

Scott? York? I'm fine with the above date.

The AMCC/APM PPC4xx NAND booting boards, which were used to introduce the nand_spl infrastructure, are practically unmaintained. There doesn't seem to be much interest in porting those boards to the SPL infrastructure. So I'm fine with the date as well:

Thanks, Stefan

In that case can you please post a patch to remove them now? Or if you really want, we can delay until v2014.04 is out.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
