Actually this whole approach looks very specific to me, if I understand
this correctly, it loads 7 MB from 1MB of the SPI flash and treats this
as a kernel?
This looks very arbitrary to me, requires at least 8MB of SPI flash
(many boards come with just 2MB) and will never hold any normal arm64
kernel (which are in the range of 16MB, typically).
So this might fit some specific embedded project, but doesn't look like
something we want in the default environment. If there is a use case
for it, people can always either set up their specific environment (and
store it in FAT), or change the default environment just for their
build.
Cheers,
Andre.
