Btw for testing purposes, I had used the following config fragment with
rootfs from the default tisdk image on am62x[1]:

# Enable falcon mode
CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT=y
CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT_SECURE=y
# We use envs for setting bootargs
CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=y
# Allows for the SPL to detect UUID for kernel's rootfs
CONFIG_SPL_PARTITION_UUIDS=y
# Perform FDT fixups from SPL
CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP=y
# We use the rootfs (i.e partition 2) for booting which is ext4 not FAT
CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT=y
CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION=2
CONFIG_SPL_FS_EXT4=y
CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME="boot/fitImage"
CONFIG_SPL_LOAD_FIT=y
# Used as the 2MiB aligned load address for kernel
CONFIG_SPL_HAS_LOAD_FIT_ADDRESS=y
CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR=0x82000000
CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR=0x88000000
CONFIG_SPL_LOAD_FIT_ADDRESS=0x82000000
CONFIG_SPL_PAYLOAD_ARGS_ADDR=0x88000000
CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_MALLOC_SIMPLE_LEN=0x2700000
CONFIG_SPL_GZIP=y
# Disable all unsupported boot media to save space
# CONFIG_SPL_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE is not set
# CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT is not set
# CONFIG_SPL_YMODEM_SUPPORT is not set
# CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT is not set
# CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT is not set
# CONFIG_SPL_NOR_SUPPORT is not set
# CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE is not set
# CONFIG_SPL_FS_FAT is not set

I was wondering if it makes sense to add this config fragment to the
tree along with documentation for falcon mode from A53 SPL for K3
platforms?
