Hi,

My use case was exactly what you are describing. If the default boot 
source doesn't have a valid image it falls back til UART and without 
this patch the SPL will try default boot source which in most cases are 
the old image or non existing. What kind of use case do you have?
It's really hard to read in the datasheet as it's not entirely accurate 
on this.
