sunxi: Enable DFU for RAM
The DFU protocol implementation in U-Boot is much faster than the FEL protocol implementation in the boot ROM on Allwinner devices. Using DFU instead of FEL improves the USB transfer speed from 500-900 KB/s to 3.2-3.7 MB/s. This is particularly useful for reducing the time needed for booting systems with large initrd images. FEL is still useful for loading the U-Boot bootloader and a boot script, which may then activate DFU in the following way: setenv dfu_alt_info ${dfu_alt_info_ram} dfu 0 ram 0 bootm ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r} The rest of the files can be transferred to the device using the "dfu-util" tool.
