I've been working this week on things, and I'm hopeful about
re-posting the series today. The only minor issue I have is that
calling save_omap_boot_params and the asm() bits for finishing NOR
pinmux seem to conflict and leave me in a bad state. But, since we
don't make use of the boot_params info yet in full U-Boot, that's not
a blocker to me.
