First of all this is for zynqmp/arm64 only. Zynq/arm32 doesn't have this
issue based on my testing.
I wanted to look at binman but didn't have a time.
u-boot-spl.bin is align already but dtbs are not. That's why when DT is
appended we get non aligned u-boot-spl.bin.
I don't know if this is an issue for others but I would say that
aligning of this new generated image make sense even for others.
