I am not an everyday user of this platform, hence curious what are the
usual sizes of DTB and DTBO files employed in Android booting?
For comparison, below are the sizes of R-Car3 DTB (Linux v5.6-rc2):
$ du -sh arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a779*dtb | sort -n
32K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77961-salvator-xs.dtb
32K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77980-v3hsk.dtb
44K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77990-ebisu.dtb
52K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77965-ulcb.dtb
60K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77960-ulcb.dtb
60K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77965-salvator-x.dtb
60K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77965-salvator-xs.dtb
60K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77965-ulcb-kf.dtb
64K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77960-salvator-x.dtb
64K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77960-salvator-xs.dtb
64K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77960-ulcb-kf.dtb
68K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77950-ulcb.dtb
68K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77951-ulcb.dtb
72K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77950-salvator-x.dtb
72K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77950-ulcb-kf.dtb
72K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77951-salvator-x.dtb
72K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77951-salvator-xs.dtb
72K arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77951-ulcb-kf.dtb
FWIW based on the above values, Renesas scripts reserve 512K for DTB.

Looks good to me.
