No, that is not supported and probably won't be. Some people will argue
I think you are wrong. This is definitely a "not supported _yet_".
that you probably don't need a bootloader once you are able to boot a linux kernel as you can probably do everything you want from there.
Yes, some people will think so, and some will actually do that. Others (and I would expect these to be the majority) will realize the benefits of being able to switch on demand (say, key press, jumper setting, etc.) between different boot modes, boot images, etc.
I am absolutely sure that SPL support for iMX6 will be added rather sooner than later.
Yeah, don't misinterpret me, I was just saying that it will not be supported in whoosh. I also believe that SPL and falcon mode will come to i.mx6 and I'm also interested in getting that support ;)
