Enable support for booting U-Boot image from filesystem instead of some random offset on the SD card. This makes the board usable by putting the u-boot.img to first partition of the SD card and writing the SPL this way: $ dd if=u-boot-with-spl.imx of=/dev/sdX seek=2 bs=512
Wait, you're still writing u-boot + SPL to the device and not just SPL, but it's still preferring the filesystem one over the appended one?
Ha, good point. I should've written the 'SPL' file instead, which is just the SPL without U-Boot. I don't want to install U-Boot to random offset on the SD card as it has the potential to corrupt data if the u-boot binary changes in size.
If I install u-boot image to random offset 138 blocks from the start of SD card, it will boot that, otherwise it will load from FS.
I will update the commit message with the correct info, sorry.
