It seems there is nothing which would do even basic tests for SPL 
fitImage DT handling in that test? Or am I reading the current test wrong ?

fdt_increase_size() would fail if there isn't enough space, so that 
should cover the check.

It is easier to test for a presence of property from U-Boot shell, also 
the property is integer where the integer indicates the index of the DTO 
when it was applied.
