The flash header v2 supports different flash offsets for different
boot devices. E.g. parallel NOR or OneNAND use a different offset
than FLASH_OFFSET_STANDARD (== 0x400).

The flash offset is correctly read from the configuration in
parse_cfg_cmd(). But is then overwritten wrongly in set_imx_hdr_v2().

Fix this by removing this overwriting. Use the flash offset
correclty read from the configuration, instead.

I think we have then a problem when there is not a BOOT_FROM statement
in the configuration file, that let  imxhdr->flash_offset unset.

We need to set it with the default value at the beginning of the
processing or to raise an error if we want to make this statement
mandatory in the configuration file.

Best regards,

Hmm, my understanding is that there can't be any default value? What 
do you think would be a default value? The one for SD boot? The one 
for NAND? Or? Who will decide what the default should be?

If there can't be a default value, I think to raise an error if no 
BOOT_FROM statement is there is the only option.

Best regards

This is desirable, but it does not correspond to the code.

Whatever we choose, it is wrong. We can select SD, and one board has not
a SD interface. The same with NAND, ...

The best one is we have not a default value.

Agree - BOOT_FROM must be mandatory.
