Now, I am wondering if I could also secure U-Boot itself before starting it by the Secondary Program Loader (SPL). Does anyone knows a method to do that?

Just as U-Boot can load Kernel + DTS as FIT, SPL can load U-Boot as FIT.
See CONFIG_SPL_LOAD_FIT. This FIT containing U-Boot + its DTS can then 
be verified, too.
