I just spot one thing and will be good to clearify it.
In sunxi this description is used.
+ firmware = "uboot";
+ loadables = "atf";
But is this right way how this should be described?
I personally use firmware which points to ATF and loadables which points
to uboot. Not sure what sunxi is doing but also in spl_fit.c there is a
comment about it.
/*
* Find the U-Boot image using the following search order:
* - start at 'firmware' (e.g. an ARM Trusted Firmware)
* - fall back 'kernel' (e.g. a Falcon-mode OS boot
* - fall back to using the first 'loadables' entry
*/
Thanks,
Michal
