You can look into the "Figure 8-21. Image Vector Table" in the system boot chapter of i.MX6Q manual. The bootdata.start points
to the beginning of the destination memory, which means the bootdata.size should have IVT offset included.  We also have checked
the boot rom codes for this.

We found this issue when booting from QSPI NOR on i.MX6SX. The u-boot runs into abnormal (crash or stop) after booting.  We checked the
destination memory where the image is loaded to, and found hundreds of bytes at the image end are not loaded into memory. Since there
is a 4096 bytes round in the calculation, so the image size decides if the issue can be reproduced. It is not easy to see the issue by SD boot.

Best regards,
Ye Li
