Hmm,

Do we really want to push people in this direction, using propriatary,
closed-source binaries?

The "pure" U-Boot approach that is currently documented works just
fine.  The only problem is that the firefly-rk3399 by default boots
from eMMC.  And the first-stage bootloader only recognizes SD-cards
with the propriatary loader.  So the trick is to wipe the firmware
stored in eMMC or replace it with U-Boot.
