It may have changed, but AFAIK, in manjaro pacman
does NOT install the uboot files in the 1st 16M, where they are supposed to be located,
but just dumps them into /boot
If it is mainline,, the files will be idbloader.img and u-boot.itb
There may also be a file,, INSTALL that gives instructions about the dd command
IOW,, the install is not really an install, only 1/2 an install
-----
Nothing will end up on the SPI, unless you deliberately write to it,
/dev/mt0 or some such (it is not a trivial procedure)
