Bootloader and other firmware (e.g. ATF) is tightly tied to SoC, not to board. There might be differences between firmware used and OS (e.g. ChromeOS uses their own bootloader, different than Linux and Android on the same SoC), but again this is not board specific. > > In theory, the reboot mode could also talk to the bootrom[1] to change > the bootsource.

Bad patterns and bugs are not reason to use same approach. The binding is wrong - you do not allow syscon-reboot-mode and if you ever tested your patches, you would see the errors. > https://elixir.bootlin.com/barebox/latest/source/arch/arm/dts/stm32mp151.dtsi#L44 Whether this part is correct, tricky to say. Why these offsets are not valid for other board? Best regards, Krzysztof
