The usage/access of the SPI flash
#1
So, reading through the wiki, if my reading comprehension is where it should be, it appears to me that is
1. the RK3399 searches to boot from SPI flash first
2. there is spi flash presentt
3. it is unused or it's use is undocumented

I ask, because this would be the obvious place for a more complex bootloader (i.e. coreboot) instead of relying on the hardcoded boot order, potentially adding support for SSD boot without any hacky drive leapfrogging stuff.

Apologies if this has been talked about before, couldn't quite find anything though.

EDIT: I was so eager to be helpful I didn't even look at the pinned posts, lol.
