A-Core no-SPL Mode is a boot approach that bypasses
the A Core SPL while retaining U-Boot in the boot flow.
This mode provides faster boot times compared to normal boot
while maintaining U-Boot's flexibility for kernel loading
and system configuration..

Please make sure to update the board/ti/*/MAINTAINERS entries for these
config fragments.
Got it, do you recommend creating a separate MAINTAINERS folder
in the board/ti folder and adding my name under some TI BOOTFLOWS
heading with subheading as
A-Core no-SPL mode or do you instead recommend adding TI BOOTFLOWS
heading with subheading as
A-Core no-SPL mode inside all the board/ti/*/MAINTAINERS files.
