For sure U-Boot cannot start at offset zero as this is 64-bit ARM board
which uses at least TF-A firmware, which loads U-Boot.

Also on these mvebu SoCs is executed prior TF-A firmware custom Marvell
initialization code responsible for DDR training.

So on offset zero you cannot flash U-Boot, otherwise board would not be
bootable.

So I would suggest to either define correct offset at which U-Boot
starts or rename this whole partition to something generic, e.g. with
label "firmware". To not expose that on zero offset is stored U-Boot.

Due to how big is this partition I guess it contains concatenation of
various firmware and bootloader parts.
