The plan is:
1. When the primary flash is broken and u-boot could not be started,
aspeed will switch to the golden side automatically.
2. When the primary flash's u-boot is OK, but the kernel/rofs fails a
couple of times, the u-boot could detect this and switch to the golden
side by setting the related registers. See example in
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/blob/master/meta-phosphor/aspeed-layer/recipes-bsp/u-boot/files/0005-config-ast-common-Fall-back-to-secondary-flash-on-fa.patch
