I think you are wrong.  This is definitely a "not supported _yet_".

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.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

8) Use common sense in routing  cable.  Avoid  wrapping  coax  around
   sources  of  strong  electric  or magnetic fields. Do not wrap the
   cable  around  flourescent  light  ballasts  or  cyclotrons,   for
   example.
