Silly question, is there any requirement that partition block count must be 
even for boot partition?

For instance, I'm not able to boot using this partition layout, keep getting 
CCC on serial console:

Device         Boot     Start       End Blocks  Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1 *         2048     22526  10239+  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2          22528    116735  47104  83 Linux

This one, almost works (u-boot runs, init fails mounting rootfs):
evice         Boot     Start       End Blocks  Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1 *         2048     22527  10240   c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2          22528    116735  47104  83 Linux
