Well it wasn't i am pretty sure it wasn't used at all or questions
about boot process should have to be raised earlier.
If we look into the first patch introduced by Oleksij Rempel
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/cover/799614/
we can that the program he used is located at 0x0018_0000 so he didn't
have any problems with Entry Point and stack pointer being at
0x0018_0000 and 0x0018_0004 respectively.
But as i am trying to emphasize, IF elf is not supposed to be located
starting at 0x0018_0000 it won't boot at all.
Citing Oleksij:

Moreover it seems not tested on IMX6 by anyone.
I can limit functionality only to IMX7, until i lay hands on IMX6
with m4 co-proc - is this is what desired ?
