The way the sdcard image has been designed, it will write the u-boot
in  the beginning of the .sdcard image file. The WaRP ignores it (as
it uses eMMC bootpart) and thus this is confusing.

Instead, I think we could add:

EXTRA_IMAGEDEPENDS += "u-boot"

So it does not write it in the .sdcard image.

What do you think?
