SPI driver perform its operation(read/write) on 64KB buffer chunk for data
greater than 64KB. This buffer chunk is allocated from system heap.
During SPL boot, 768KB of data is read from SPI flash.
Here, heap size may not be sufficient enough to full-fill 64KB buffer
requirement of SPI driver. So break down u-boot read operation at 8KB of chunk.
Also, fix a warning i.e. "unused variable buf" during CONFIG_FSL_CORENET

How long does this take? If it's long enough to warrant a progress
meter, that ought to be fixed first.
It take 20 sec to boot. it is long enough. This issue has already been
reported.
It wasn't mentioned in this patch submission...
I will add this information..
Problem is reading 1 MB from SPI flash. It take almost 20s in on u-boot
prompt from any boot.
I agree, we should first fix it.
But This patch should not be stopped to get apply because of issue
somewhere else. That issue can be fixed separately in other patch.
But this patch seems to assume the bug hasn't been fixed -- it still has
a progress meter, and it still breaks the SPI read into 8K chunks (not
sure if that part would change as part of the fix).
I will make sure of removing this progress meter once issue is fixed.

Prabhakar
