I think the "old offset" would be correct when you copy the AIS image
to the sd card using the uflash tool from TI. This tool adds some extra
space at the start of the mmc for UBL configuration settings, which does
not seem to be needed for the lcdk. The generated AIS image with SPL
can boot the board directly and we can just copy the resulting AIS
to the sdcard with the "dd" command.
