Drat, that's right. So there has to be some way to agree on how the
reset works between the kernel and U-Boot ?

Isn't this magic actually used by bootrom ?
Right. It tells the boot rom to jump to ocram on next reboot instead of
loading spl from qspi or mmc. But if that's required or not a good idea
at all depends on many factors. Some of them board related, some U-Boot
related and some Linux related (depending on the hardware and drivers used).
Should that be runtime configurable then ?
Since it might depend on Linux putting the qspi chip into a state where
it's not accessible by the boot ROM. That might change without
rebuilding U-Boot.
On the other hand, this is probably more of a U-Boot build time config.
I could make it a Kconfig option as well...

Simon
