fitImage align 8-byte for ARM64

[Matthias Schoepfer]

Hi!

I have had trouble booting a fitImage packed kernel for dragonboard410c, 
which is an ARM64 platform. After days and days of debugging, I found 
that the fdt is 4-byte aligned. But within the linux kernel, 
Documentation/arm64/booting.txt says, fdt must be 8 byte aligned.

If I change the alignment by means of fdt_high, the Kernel boots, 
otherwise, it hangs.

Is there an option to align the fitImage to 8-byte boundaries, and if 
not, is it feasible to submit a patch or will this never have a chance 
to get merged?!

Thanks and Regards,
