P2020 (and older) are pre-PBL boards, they do not support NXP PBL
header.

In case of parallel NOR and parallel NAND booting there is no BootROM,
no preboot environment, nothing. CPU does execute-in-place, maps the
last page and starts execution of the last instruction on that page.
It is U-Boot code which just does branch to _start symbol (which is also
in the last page).

For NOR booting (P2020RDB-PC_defconfig) there is no SPL involved.

In case of SPI NOR or SD card booting, there is some trivial BootROM
which takes pre-PBL header and it can be either generated by external
NXP tool or now also U-Boot too (IIRC my patch for this was merged).
