What is the header we need? I assume it's not compatible with our previous headers. And if it's just a convenience for programming the flash, maybe we just stick with two files, to avoid further headaches upstream? It's a general rule that concatenating files would make programming easier, but it's a small savings on either end, yes? This would also make the packaging easier since it would just be SPL_IMAGE_FILE (or whatever) set to u-boot-spl.gph and so forth. Thanks! -- Tom
