Newer TF-A versions provide a new image loading protocol. This is used on

directly and thus replacing bl1 and bl2 from the TF-A.

This was tested on the Kontron sl28 board using NXPs bl31 and the upstream
version of the OP-TEE Trusted OS.

I still have some questions about this.

As I see from TFA previous image format has been removed in 2018 by

DOH! Lol, I'm using just one non-upstream part for the whole board
and of course it is doing something miserable. I wasn't aware of this.

On Xilinx ZynqMP I use SPL->bl31 loading but not using that TFA
structure because xilinx is using own format.

But I am curious if V2 was removed in 2018 who is really using previous
one and also if current implemenation is origin or also not full v2.

NXP,
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/atf/tree/plat/nxp/common/common.mk#n55

The last non-nxp commit there was from around March 2018..

And these patches are not breaking boot on zynqmp that's why not big
deal for me.

I was looking at porting TFA to upstream for this board but there is
such a huge gap. Therefore, it seemed to be easier to just use the
vendor version for now.
