My concern here is that hundreds of boards (literally) grow by a few hundred bytes to add in this bit of additional default logic. That's not a big problem if distributions are now going to be using SPI flash as where they're programming in their bootscript. But, who is doing that? Thanks!

Yes it would be later that points to. rk3399 has SPI flash layout and out of which one of offset(script_offset_f=0xffe000 from include/configs/rk3399_common.h) stored the programming script. Jagan.

So I'm not sure why we're adding distro boot support to SPI flash. What is the reference platform storing there exactly? Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand the question? we have rk3399 SBC's that boot from SPI and have feasibility to run distro boot using programming script store in flash offset like boot.scr does for MMC.

OK, and what distro(s) today are doing that? I'm not happy with this patch as it's growing hundreds (literally) of boards in size and I'd like to know what is leveraging this functionality today, or is going to be as soon as it's upstream and widely available. Thanks!

Thanks! Not sure about the possibility more boards using this at this point, but I was initially created custom to rockchip and feel that it would be useful to rest if it's generic. May be will split into rockchip area if it's eating too much footprint. Jagan.

Yes, the "distro boot" functionality refers to what we need to allow boards to easily Just Work with standard off the shelf *nix distributions. Thanks!

Add distro boot command support for SPI flash. This distro boot will read the boot script at specific location at the flash and start sourcing the same. The common macro like BOOTENV_SHARED_FLASH would help to extend the support for nand flash in future.
