Marek, My testing may be flawed as I'm having issues with even the branches I submitted to add my board (which I previously tested without issues). I'm not sure if I'm having a compiler related issue or something else. Perhaps there is another IMX8 SPL user out there that can test with your patches while I figure out what's wrong on my end? Tim
