I must have missed the internal reviews for this, anyway this is posted
upstream so lets discus it here.

SPL size would remain constant, the combined FIT (tispl.bin) would grow,
but that is okay as DRAM is enabled at this point so we have no hard
memory constraints.

Bundling images is what FIT is for, are you saying the better solution
is to hard-code each firmware starting like done here?

FIT images can be disassembled and reassembled with a script around
tools/dumpimage.

SPL should be simple and load the one next stage.

How does this current series scale at all? At least with FIT you can add
more images without adding code for
request_firmware(<hard-coded-firmware-name>) and
rproc_load(<hard-coded-number>). That all could be encoded in the FIT data.
