Hi Quentin and others,
Some comments. Have a look if it's useful.
It works, but is in need for some improvement...

"u-boot-rockchip.bin" is a combination image of mkimage(TPL/SPL) + "u-boot.img". Not everyone suites this fixed GPT format.
People may still want to write them separate while testing or whatever, so "idbloader.img" and "u-boot.img" must be kept available after this change!
===
rockchip.rst and README.rockchip and elsewhere on the internet still refer to "idbloader.img" so it should come back, but then made by binman.
idbloader {
filename = "idbloader.img";
mkimage {
args = "-n", CONFIG_SYS_SOC, "-T", "rksd";
#ifdef CONFIG_TPL
multiple-data-files;
u-boot-tpl {
};
#endif
u-boot-spl {
};
};
};
===
After this patch serie "idbloader.img" is not removed.
make clean
After:
CLEAN include/generated/env.in u-boot-nodtb.bin u-boot.lds u-boot.cfg.configs u-boot.bin u-boot-dtb.bin u-boot.img u-boot-dtb.img u-boot.sym u-boot.map u-boot.srec u-boot.cfg u-boot.dtb.out u-boot-tpl.dtb.out u-boot u-boot-spl.dtb.out u-boot.dtb u-boot-rockchip.bin System.map
Before:
CLEAN include/generated/env.in u-boot-nodtb.bin u-boot.lds u-boot.cfg.configs u-boot.bin u-boot-dtb.bin u-boot.img u-boot-dtb.img u-boot.sym u-boot.map u-boot.srec u-boot.cfg u-boot.dtb.out u-boot-tpl.dtb.out u-boot u-boot-spl.dtb.out u-boot.dtb u-boot-rockchip.bin System.map idbloader.img
===
Your serie generates zombie files. PLease remove after use.
Same for others like:
simple-bin.map
mkimage-out.rom.mkimage
mkimage.rom.mkimage
rom.map
tools/boot/bootm.c
tools/boot/fdt_region.c
tools/boot/image-cipher.c
tools/boot/image-fit-sig.c
tools/boot/image-fit.c
tools/boot/image-host.c
tools/boot/image.c
u_boot_logo.S
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
mkimage-out.simple-bin.mkimage
mkimage.simple-bin.mkimage

u-boot-spl is the input for mkimage and should be a subnode.

Fix your dts format:
simple-bin {
filename = "u-boot-rockchip.bin";
pad-byte = <0xff>;
mkimage {
args = "-n", CONFIG_SYS_SOC, "-T", "rksd";
#ifdef CONFIG_TPL
multiple-data-files;
u-boot-tpl {
};
#endif
u-boot-spl {
};
};
#ifdef CONFIG_ARM64
blob {
filename = "u-boot.itb";
#else
u-boot-img {
#endif
offset = <((CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR - 64) * 512)>;
};
};
===
CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR is only related to MMC!
There are other boot mediums like NAND or USB, so don't assume that CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR is defined.
See my patch serie that still is in need for review:
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20220508150825.21711-7-jbx6244@gmail.com/
Without it generates a warning:
Error: arch/arm/dts/rockchip-u-boot.dtsi:54.16-17 syntax error
FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree
Add more compile conditions!

RK3066:
For NAND the "idbloader.img" might be useful for my serie (in need for review) when it gets TPL/SPL and rc4 right:
[PATCH v2 00/11] Add Rockchip IDB device
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/a1458a7b-2043-6397-3107-2d1fdf08c8e1@gmail.com/
In mk808_defconfig change:
CONFIG_TPL_TEXT_BASE=0x10080C04
to:
CONFIG_TPL_TEXT_BASE=0x10080C00
In rockchip.rst change:
printf "RK30" > tplspl.bin
dd if=u-boot-tpl.bin >> tplspl.bin
to:
printf "RK30" > tplspl.bin
dd if=u-boot-tpl.bin ibs=1 skip=4 >> tplspl.bin
The NAND can be programmed simular to MMC with:
rkdeveloptool wlx loader1 idbloader.img
TODO:
rk30 usbplug (open source)
