What is the header we need?  I assume it's not compatible with our
previous headers.  And if it's just a convenience for programming the
flash, maybe we just stick with two files, to avoid further headaches
upstream?  It's a general rule that concatenating files would make
programming easier, but it's a small savings on either end, yes?  This
would also make the packaging easier since it would just be
SPL_IMAGE_FILE (or whatever) set to u-boot-spl.gph and so forth.  Thanks!
