I'm not sure we need anything special for the rk3399 chromebooks. I
think it's meant to be your 'u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin', but is just
incomplete (and partially broken, e.g. it should use u-boot.itb).

I'll try to test things on my chromebook_kevin later on, but probably
not before you can send a v3...

Do we need the 'idbloader.img' as a build output, assuming we have a
working 'u-boot-rockchip.bin'? I'm asking because Simon was trying to
drop it in a similar patch [1].

With what I said above, I think you should rename this to 'u-boot.rom'
and remove the definitions in {rk3288,rk3399}-u-boot.dtsi.

The 'u-boot.itb' entries you add here are guarded with CONFIG_ARM64, so
don't apply to RK3288. I think that's fine until we can convert these
'u-boot.itb's to be completely binman-built as well.

OTOH, things appear work fine if I:

- Replace CONFIG_ARM64 with CONFIG_SPL_FIT below
- Include rockchip-optee before rockchip-u-boot in rk3288-u-boot.dtsi
- Move the empty binman node to rk3288-u-boot.dtsi above both includes

at least, until the patch that forces Makefile to build 'u-boot.itb'.

The closing braces should be on their own line, more instances below as
well.

Probably "#if defined(CONFIG_SPL_FIT) && defined(CONFIG_ARM64)" is
better, like in Simon's patch. Likewise in the SPI image below.

I think this still needs the "offset = <CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO>;" which
shouldn't be removed.

This should have the same name & type as the one in the other image.

I think this also needs "offset = <CONFIG_SYS_SPI_U_BOOT_OFFS>;".

Also consider adding a 'fdtmap' entry to both SPI and SD/MMC images,
it's useful for some interactive binman features.

While renaming 'u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin' to 'u-boot.rom' you should drop
these Kconfig changes as well, and select HAS_ROM wherever you select
ROCKCHIP_SPI_IMAGE (i.e. in the last patch).
