I bisected a problem with the current mainline with the imx8qxp_mek
board and seems to point to that patch. After this patch, I'm getting
the following errors when u-boot creates the flash.bin binary.
error writing image hdr 400
MKIMAGE flash.bin
The resulting binary seems to not work. Reverting that patch helps to
make bootable the board again.
The u-boot log is:
....
