U-Boot with direct NVMe boot support for eMMC/SPI Flash
#62
Check this out:  I must have lucked out and installed this before NVME booting was disabled,  but I have been booting the NVME since February.   He @"dhivael" 
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8752  (original thread)    I believe Manjaro at one time was using that u-boot  .  I can boot from NVME, SD, and EMMC for sure,  I don't remember trying a USB boot.

He also explains in the git how to build the binaries to be flashed.

Also see this thread:  https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8685  From @sigmaris .  I have been using his uboot on SPI flash on a rockpro64.  He has made it very easy to flash/erase SPI whitout going into maskrom mode to install it.    

I haven't a chance to check out the current state of  the latest  Mainline u-boot recently.  

I am relatively new to the linux world:  I think if you take a look at these threads you could figure out what you want to do...
FWIW
