I'm not sure if this is required, but can you add your mail address

Nit: could be a oneliner.

Can we add a newline in between to make it more readable?

Here as well.

We could rewrite this to:

	if (bootsrc == BOOTSOURCE_SERIAL)
		imx6_barebox_start_usb(IOMEM(MX6_MMDC_PORT01_BASE_ADDR));
	else if (bootsrc == BOOTSOURCE_MMC)
		imx6_esdhc_start_image(bootinstance);

	pr_err("Unsupported boot source %i instance %i\n", bootsrc, bootinstance);
	
	hang();

or use switch-case.

The get_runtime_offset() can be dropped here since we already relocated.
Also we could move this function into the entry_function.

After reading the setup_c() and the cache-armv7.S code I think we don't
need the barrier() here.

This could be re-written to:

	imx6_ungate_all_peripherals();

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_LL))
		setup_uart();

	if (!running_from_ram())
		load_barebox();
	
	boot_barebox;
