Thanks for bringing this up!

Admittedly, I lost track of where this issue stands, as some of it was
merged but obviously not all of it. It could perhaps benefit from
refreshed patches and possibly a merge request via salsa.debian.org.

I have a few relevent systems I could test with. At least with a
pinebook, I vaguely recall that it failed to boot using this method, but
it has been a long time since I tried and I apparently neglected to
mention the details... things may have changed since.

I am also a bit inclined to adding u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin rather than
replacing all the other parts, as there are some use-cases (e.g. an
image capable of booting both sunxi and rockchip systems at different
offsets) where the individual parts are still needed.

live well,
