Hi Samuel,
On sunxi boards, SPL looks for U-Boot at a 32 KiB offset, unless SPL is larger than 32 KiB, in which case U-Boot immediately follows SPL. See the logic in spl_mmc_get_uboot_raw_sector() and spl_spi_load_image().
In two cases, the existing binman description mismatches the SPL code. For 64-bit boards, binman would place U-Boot immediately following SPL, even if SPL is smaller than 32 KiB. This can happen when SPL MMC support is disabled (i.e. when booting from SPI flash).
In contrast, for 32-bit boards, binman would place U-Boot at 32 KiB, even if SPL is larger than that. This happens because the 'offset' property does not consider the size of previous entries.
Fix both issues by setting a minimum size for the SPL entry, which exactly matches the logic in the SPL code. Unfortunately, this size must be provided as a magic number, since none of the relevant config symbols (SPL_PAD_TO, SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, and SYS_SPI_U_BOOT_OFFS) are guaranteed to be defined in all cases.

thanks for this patch. Indeed a 24K arm64 SPL would break the image, and this patch fixes it. The exact inner workings of binman are beyond me, but I build tested various key platforms and it seems to work now. Maybe that would also fix the build problem I saw with the 32-bit FIT series.

Queued for sunxi/master.
Cheers, Andre
