If stage 1 sees this, it changes the U-Boot image selection to the other one, (aka old U-Boot image), and proceeds to boot.

Discussion anyone?

I would suggest if the stage 1 code recognizes an SD then it boots from that.  It seems more robust than looking for a special signature, and doesn't require an SD that has a special signature, or a working boot image on the SPI.
