It isn't strictly necessary to upgrade the bootldr. If 2.20.4 is
working for you, you can just flash the new root image.

But to actually answer your question, yes, the bootldr can reflash
itself using the same mechanism. You need to make an entry in
reflash.ctl a bit like this:

bootldr bootldr-pxa-2.21.11.bin md5sums bootldr
