 OK, let me rephrase it then: does U-Boot 2019.01 have any configuration without
boot FAT partition, but which uses the .imx format instead of SPL?

 In any case, I think this enimage.cfg.template_no_boot_part should only be
introduced when there is something that actually uses it. Now it is just dead code.
