Not sure if the upstream patches are consistant with this, but:

  https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi/wiki

Suggests that they've switched to u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin by default, and
that u-boot.img replaced the default u-boot.bin. I'll leave out u-boot.img and
spl/sunxi-spl.bin and someone can request them if there's a valid use-case.

  http://docs.cubieboard.org/tutorials/ct1/development/booting_from_usb_otg_port

Suggests FEL mode needs u-boot.bin and u-boot-spl.bin, so that's what I'll
include, so that's:

  armhf                   Cubietruck      u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
  armhf                   Cubietruck_FEL  u-boot.bin spl/u-boot-spl.bin

Seems to build fine that way, at least.

Just waiting for upstream inclusion, unless they're simple and non-invasive.

Each additional platform adds .5+ MB to the package, and some of these
platforms may have limited space, and little or no use for platforms other
than their own...

The size of the package will have nearly doubled since wheezy, and I wouldn't
be surprised if people want to add more platforms. But that's kind of outside
the scope of this bug report...
