I'd also be interested in a more detailed explanation of this change, since the 
documentation is not quite descriptive about this added step.

How the magic new offset is handled and why is it chosen to be 384?

I see this change was made *exactly in the same way* across Mini, Nano and Plus 
SOCs of i.MX8M family, hence I believe it does deserve a good description.
