What I mean is, for example if there is a bug in
zynqmp_pm_cfg_obj_convert then the pm_cfg binary will automatically be
updated the next time U-Boot is built. Compared to if the
pm_cfg_obj.bin is stored separately and has to be independently
updated for a bug. But it's a minor issue and not that important.

We've been trying to piece together the scripts to build pmu config
from an HDF using Luca's blog posts and other source code. Out of
curiosity, what are these other methods?
