For starters I don’t have a RK3288-based board or a Chromebook.
The code was designed to be generic enough to easily retarget to new boards.
It’s good to see that it’s not just our modules that face the challenge of requiring a configurable boot-order ;-)

I had asked Kever for the address (back in the day), as it was not documented neither for the RK3368 nor for the RK3399.

There’s a task in my to-do list to move most of the configuration in the GRF (e.g. selecting RGMII vs. GMII) to an ioctl-based scheme.
This resulted as the “best available choice” from a prior discussion between me an Simon.
If you want to tackle this, I would advise a DM-based solution for interfacing with our BootROM.
Thanks,
