In my initial commit I assumed CONFIG_USE_PREBOOT=y was enabled by default. I was wrong.

As reported by MicroLinux (Salva) on DISCORD the unit was still having issues booting. I sent him a patch I use which enables preboot and he reported back that "It boots fine now".

NOTES: The patch he tested also had boot logo support enabled. In my testing boot logo support is not required. If for some reason in the future there are still eMMC boot issues, than maybe adding a slight delay "sleep 2" to preboot would suffice.
