There probably isn't any public documentation.
This implementation was written using the public Marvell U-Boot source code
which is hosted on GitHub (MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/u-boot-marvell).

Anyway, this shouldn't be much of a problem for the initial version, as SPI
flash is quite reliable and data written here can also be read by the official
version and vice versa.

I haven't encountered a board, which has a different offset so far.
This can be treated as a nicer way of defining this offset, rather
than just hard-coding it in the source code itself.

In case there are more boards with this partition, a way of defining
the offset in the DTS can be added later and this value can then
be used as a default.
