I don't think any existing boards have the hardware, although I think barebox
could handle it from a SW point of view. From memory the only source not
copied by out the boot rom is NOR.

I'll do another round where I handle all of them.. (like I should have done
before :)
nor onenand nand mmc prom_i2c prom_spi -- do these names sound ok for
everyone?

Isn't that already kernel_loc?

Then how about boot_source? (or boot_src). Or boot_media? These seem to me to
be a better fit, but I don't have any colleagues to bounce them off :)
I'm also happy with barebox_loc, so no dramas.

Just to check - did you take from v1 or v2? in v2 For the second patch in V2 I
also added the MEM_TYPE_SHIFT defines..
