[U-Boot] SPL broken on i.mx31 platforms

Hi,

the commit 41623c91 breaks the SPL on i.mx31 platforms.
The original startup code (start.S) was position independent to
allow relocation in board_init_f. This is necessary as the internal
RAM used by the IPL to load the first 2kB from NAND is also
used by the NAND controller to buffer pages.

Does changing the startup code back to PIC generate any
drawbacks on other ARM platforms?
What was the intention of the change besides unifying?

Could someone verify the issue on a i.mx31 platform.

Helmut
