The test scripts currently assume that if SPL is enabled in the U-Boot 
configuration file, then U-Boot SPL will run and print its signon 
message to the serial console. If you're starting U-Boot using a 
technique that invalidates this assumption, it won't work currently, as 
you found.

It's pretty easy to add a flag in the boardenv file to tell the system 
not to expect SPL signon. If you take a look at my second suggestion in:

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2016-February/245759.html
[U-Boot] [PATCH] test/py: only check for SPL signature if SPL uses 
serial output

... then it's probably a simple as adding a third variable into the if 
condition, where that variable gets looks up from the "board 
environment", similar to:

spl_skipped = u_boot_console.config.env.get('env__spl_skipped', False)
