Lukasz Majewski 010e58d448 imx: Add support for i.MX28 based XEA board
This patch introduces support for i.MX28 based XEA board.

This board supports DM/DTS in U-Boot proper as well as DM aware drivers
in SPL (u-boot.sb) by using OF_PLATDATA.
More detailed information regarding usage of it can be found in
./board/liebherr/xea/README file.

Building SPL/U-Boot for xea board
=================================
Setup environment, configure and build, e.g. by:
$ make imx28_xea_defconfig
$ make -j4 u-boot.sb u-boot.img
Now you should see u-boot.sb and u-boot.img files in the build directory.
Booting
=======
The boot ROM loads SPL from SPI NOR flash into SRAM. SPL configures
DRAM and loads either a Linux kernel (falcon mode) or, if the rescue
pin is asserted, the main U-Boot. Both kernel and U-Boot reside in
eMMC boot partition 0. For redundancy, a copy of U-Boot is also
stored in SPI flash. If a valid kernel image is not found, U-Boot is
loaded from eMMC or, if this fails, SPI flash.

Falcon mode
===========
In falcon mode, the default, SPL loads the kernel and devicetree
directly. For this to work, the stored devicetree must include
correct "memory" and "chosen" nodes as these are not updated by SPL
before booting the kernel.
Updating from U-Boot
====================
The default U-Boot environment includes command sequences to update
SPL, U-Boot, and kernel over TFTP. These are as follows:
- update_spl: writes u-boot.sb to SPI NOR
- update_uboot: writes u-boot.img to eMMC and SPI NOR
- update_kernel: writes kernel and devicetree to eMMC
They can be invoked at the U-Boot prompt using the "run" command,
e.g. "run update_spl" to update the SPL.
These update commands download the above-named files from the
${hostname} directory on the server provided by DHCP.
