After the conversion to binman in commit c1ecd03d90c7 ("imx: imx8mq_evk: switch to binman"), it is necessary to flash both flash.bin and u-boot.itb to get a bootable system. Prior to this commit, only flash.bin was needed.
Such new requirement breaks existing distro mechanisms to generate the final binary because the extra u-boot.itb is now required.
Generate a final flash.bin that can be used again as a single bootable binary to keep the original behavior.
After this change the SPL binary is called spl.bin, which is a more descriptive name for its purpose, and can still be used standalone (for example, for secure boot purposes).
Also update imx8mq_evk.rst to remove the u-boot.itb copy step.
This is a cherry-pick of 028abfd9b157 ("imx8mm-evk: Generate a single bootable flash.bin again") adjusted to apply to i.MX8MQ.

Also, the subject should be imx8mq_evk: Generate...
Feel free to resubmit with these two minor changes and keep my Reviewed-by tag.

Hi,
but it's not only imx8mq_evk. Tom has merged the patchset that switches *all* i.MX8MQ boards to Binman, which means that this change touches not only imx8mq_evk but all i.MX8MQ boards. The only thing that is specific to imx8mq_evk is the documentation change.
Should I still change it?
Thanks, Patrick
