Hi all,
Collected some feedback on IRC on #linux-rockchip, so putting it here
for future reference.

I believe (hope) that the new SoCs should now have this fixed and not
require the "hack" implemented in rkspi format which almost doubles the
size of TPL+SPL (idbloader.img).
It's known to be fixed on RK3566/RK3568 and RK3588(S) (according to the
DTS setting the mkimage format for the SPI's idbloader.img to rksd
explicitly).
Since I do not have any board with a bootable SPI flash except on RK3399
where this work-around is required, I simply invert the logic by having
rkspi explicitly set for all SoCs that didn't and remove rksd from SoCs
that did. It doesn't mean that the SoC actually requires rkspi format,
just that it's been the case until now (maybe because nobody tested).

RK3288 is confirmed to need rkspi work-around to boot from SPI as the
Chromebooks Jerry and Speedy had build instructions to use rkspi.

RK3326 is confirmed to *not* need rkspi work-around to boot from SPI.
Considering it's a lite version of PX30, I'm assuming the same can be
said for PX30 but since I cannot test it, I won't modify it.
I'll send a further patch once this gets merged (or if there's a v2 for
this series) to make rksd the default format for SPI booting on RK3326.
Don't hesitate to provide feedback for other Rockchip SoCs.
Cheers,
Quentin
