I'll fix that.

I'm currently using here a hybrid u-boot into barebox boot and can't use
the eMMC SLC boot-partitions without changes on the u-boot side. That's
why I kept this config.

If you really want me to go for the boot0 partition, I can adapt this in
this mainline barebox setup?

I'll rework all that init and use imx6q_barebox_entry(fdt) instead.

It is empty.

Yes right.

Let me change the whole layout to a simple barebox mainline default.

In my local hybrid config regular partitions start with a big offset.

Let me change the whole layout to a simple barebox mainline default.

I'll fix that.
