Please add the rpi_3_32b target to u-boot-rpi, for Raspberry Pi 3
support.  The RPi3's BCM2710 CPU is 64-bit capable, but at the moment
everything from the firmware down assumes 32-bit, hence the rpi_3_32b
target.  AIUI this will change and u-boot is assuming this, as they
have also written a rpi_3 target, but it is not yet in use.  (It
would also require aarch64 cross-compilation on armhf, and/or adding
u-boot to arm64.)  But the rpi_3_32b has been tested by me and works
great in 2016.05~rc.
