[PATCH v1] Fix unbootable ARMv7 devices

The linker script u-boot-spl.lds now
is no longer aligned and -nodtb.bin ending shows
the zeros are not 8 byte aligned. This result in
the Makefile.xpl simply think the previous file
is aligned and do not zero pad. simply fix the
data align to 8 can ensure the -nodtb.bin is aligned,
hence, the formation of u-boot-spl.bin properly align.
