So that's easier said that done. CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO ends up being used
by the call to objcopy, so using an expression instead of an absolute
number leads to:

aarch64-none-elf-objcopy --gap-fill=0xff -j .text -j .secure_text -j .secure_data -j .rodata -j .data -j .u_boot_list -j .rela.dyn -j .got -j .got.plt -j .binman_sym_table -j .text_rest -j .dtb.i
nit.rodata -I binary -O binary --pad-to="((CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR - 64) * 512)" --gap-fill=0xff idbloader.img u-boot-rockchip.bin && cat u-boot.itb >> u-boot-rockchip.bin || { rm -
f u-boot-rockchip.bin; false; }
aarch64-none-elf-objcopy: --pad-to: bad number: ((CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR - 64) * 512)

And fixing this seems like a much bigger issue to tackle than the
original patch. The current way to propagate CONFIG_ values to
Makefiles is by the output of `cc -E -dM`, which won't perform the
arithmetic.

We could create a small tool using HOSTCC to print the values of the
macros, but as said above that's not trivial IMO.

Thanks, Roger.
