Rationale for using binman is running mkimage will generate a file
named fspi_header.bin
which needs to be prepended to SPL and u-boot.img with padding. This
is how the imx8mm_evk did it.

No, it doesn't but it makes the next patch smaller and keeps the
changes to do only one thing.
I separated it as it can be separated into two distinct tasks.

yes, it can be.

Shall I send a V4 with them squashed then?

Either way works for me. Sorry for being a nuisance.
