NAK. I reject this patch, and I will continue to reject all attempts
to perform additional operations on the u-boot.bin image.

u-boot.bin is by definition the raw binary image of  U-Boot.  If  you
use  additional  tools  to  post-process  this  image,  then  you are
creating a new image format, which must have it's own name.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
