Thanks for testing my patch!   Please see my comments below for some more
info that may help you get it working.

You should not run gzip this will compress the uboot header which will make
it impossible for uboot to load the rfs.

You will also need to install the u-boot.img binary to the root of the sd
card.

The blue led will not come on in the current configuration.  This is
because no bitfile is loaded. You will need to install a bitfile on the
sdcard and load it with the fpga command in uboot or the xdevcfg device in
Linux.

Just for reference, the patch changes the initial boot loader from the
Xilinx fsbl based boot loader to the uboot spl loader.

Thanks,
Spenser
