Sometimes imximage throws the following error:
CFGS board/freescale/vf610twr/imximage.cfg.cfgtmp CFGS board/freescale/vf610twr/imximage.cfg.cfgtmp MKIMAGE u-boot-dtb.imx Error: No BOOT_FROM tag in board/freescale/vf610twr/imximage.cfg.cfgtmp arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile:100: recipe for target 'u-boot-dtb.imx' failed
Later on, when running mkimage for the u-boot.imx it will succeed in finding the IVT offset.
Looks like some race condition happening during parallel build when processing mkimage for u-boot-dtb.imx and u-boot.imx.
A proper fix still needs to be implemented, but as a workaround let's remove the error when the IVT offset is not found.
It is useful to have such message, especially during bring-up phase, but the build error that it causes is severe, so better avoid the build error for now.
The error checking can be re-implemented later when we have a proper fix.
