I assume you're talking about the Freescale BSP, as those files are not in
mainline u-boot.

No, beyond what's already been changed in the BSP to support it.  Make sure
you use a NAND configuration when building u-boot.

NOR can be mapped in its entirety, while with NAND only the first 4KiB gets
mapped, and that code has to fetch the rest of u-boot from NAND and copy it
to RAM before continuing.
