On x86 devices having even a small amount of data can cause an overlap between regions. For example, bayleybay complains when the intel-vga region overlaps with u-boot-ucode:

It is safer to use an empty file in most cases. Add an option to set the size for those uses that need it.

Later on, I think adding 'min-size' and 'max-size' properties for entries could be useful for a few things including this.
Yes I think that might become necessary.
