Above settings use the boot0 for fastboot. When you switch to boot1 for fastboot, did you change the 
partconf setting to "mmc partconf 0 1 2 0"?

If the ROM boots from emmc fastboot, it will set the bit0 to 1 to indicate the fastboot. Since at this time, ROM
does not leave fastboot (just stop the clock), we should continue the stream mode read in SPL for FIT image load. 
So below checking is correct.  If you continue the stream mode read, what is the failure do you meet?
The codes will read max 640KB data from ROM to search to FIT header. Can it get the header or not?

	if (interface == BT_DEV_TYPE_MMC && (boot & 1))
		return 1;

Ye Li
