Deleting the &binman node from the venice-u-boot.dtsi file appears to make the problem go away, and binman is still making the image.

Right, so this is with
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/trini/2022-01-07-imx8-and-binman-updates/
applied and I did have to manually apply Marcel's 4/7 and 7/7, so maybe
I mismerged something there too?  The tree is also at
https://github.com/trini/u-boot/tree/WIP/2022-01-07-imx8-and-buildman-updates
