My bad. I looked wrong. There is no such code.

But I do not understand well. When burn flash.bin into boot partition,
SPL will be loaded from boot partition, SPL will load container images
from boot partition, but in your case, I think SPL will load container images
from user partition, so you switch back to boot partition.

Why need to add such logic in imx8/image.c?

Thanks,
Peng.
