If the wrapping is needed to get a working U-Boot image for this
specific board, I'll vote to add the code.

On the other hand, I wouldn't probably add this to the u-boot.bin
target.  A makefile should really specify what file is generated from
what and generating an extra target in the u-boot.bin rule somewhat
violates this rule.

I'd say, add another target and the script.  Hopefully we can make this
as generic as possible so that other boards needing this can only plug
in their script.

Cheers
