Building with binutils-2.28 and CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_SPL_BACK_TO_BROM disabled
succeeds.

In case this is where you were heading... ;-)

Building twice (once with binutils-2.27 and once with binutils-2.28) both
times without the -N and both times with CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_SPL_BACK_TO_BROM
disabled produces a diff in the map files of:
