So this schema is never used. 'select: false' is only useful if
something else if referencing the schema.

'binman' is not a vendor. You could add it if you think that's useful.
Probably not with only 1 case...

Probably should use the new 'tfa' rather than old 'atf'. Is this the
only binary for TFA? The naming seems inconsistent in that every image
goes in (or can go in) a bl?? section. Why does TFA have it but u-boot
doesn't? Perhaps BL?? is orthogonal to defining what is in each
partition. Perhaps someone more familar with all this than I am can
comment.
Once you actually test this, you'll find you are specifying:
compatible = "u-boot", "atf-bl31";
