A few do not. The error is less likely to occur between RAM init and
SPL key detect, but yes it's even possible at this stage.

>From my testing using the latest BL31 file from the
rockchip-linux/rkbin github repository I was unable to reboot into
maskrom mode after A-TF loaded, the device would just straight
reboot. Do you know if A-TF does something that makes reboot
into maskrom mode no longer work?

I see in the TRM under section 1.2 that the eMMC is higher in the boot
path than SDMMC, and that matches my experience as well. So this
wouldn't be a solution sadly.

That's unfortunate, but I appreciate the feedback.

Thank you,
