Hi,

Given that there now are quite a few additional "reserved" entries, and while 
we're still at SPL_HEADER_VERSION 1, I'd like to renew my request of dedicating one of 
these fields to the script length - which would enable us to set the U-Boot ${filesize} 
accordingly.

i.e.
--- arch-arm-include-asm-arch-sunxi-spl.h
+++ arch-arm-include-asm-arch-sunxi-spl.new.h
@@ -49,7 +49,8 @@

        uint32_t fel_script_address;
-       uint32_t reserved1[3];
+       uint32_t fel_script_length;
+       uint32_t reserved1[2];
        uint32_t boot_media;            /* written here by the boot ROM */
        uint32_t reserved2[5];          /* padding, align to 64 bytes */
 };


I do not intend to further push my specific use cases, however I still consider the (then 
somewhat theoretical) ability to do "import -t ${fel_script_addr} ${filesize}" 
useful. For reference, the previous discussion related to this was somewhere around 
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-September/227454.html

Hmm, given that the boot-rom touches some of these, I wonder if
we should be putting anything here at all.

Other then that worry, I see no problem with adding a
fel_script_length, Siarhei what is your opinion on this ?

Regards,

Hans
