FWIW, I'm not seeing other boot methods being specifically disabled in
beagleplay in 2024.01 or even newer. I didn't try the result, but this
may actually be some other issue and real bug, nothing obviously intended.

My personal observation is that continuous integration testings with
all-upstream components is not really a common thing. I saw that with
multiple active SoCs from various vendors.
