Here is the 16MiB flash layout, I have used. I can see the loader1
(tpl/spl) can be possible to load at 0x0 or 0x32K so I have given the
space for it. and 8K env after loader2(u-boot). let me know your
thoughts?

          0x0 - 0x8000,       32K  =>  reserved/loader1
    0x8000 - 0x40000,    224K =>  loader1
  0x40000 - 0x140000,    1M  =>  loader2
0x140000 - 0x142000,    8K  =>   env
0x142000 - 0x842000,    7M  =>  kernel
0x842000 - 0x853800,  100K =>  dtb
0x853800 -                             =>  root
