then it might be due to scfw API incompatibility?

yesterday I wanted to test some mainline drivers on my SoM and
created simple device tree for booting with console output.
Mainline kernel v5.5-rc6 booted successfully, (but without FEC
support).

Unfortunately, my i.MX8QXP SoM was damaged today and it doesn't boot
any more and it is not recoverable, so I cannot check the used firmware
hashes. I only know that it was something from 4.14.98_2.0.0_ga release.
