While converting to binman for an imx8mq board, it has been found that building in the u-boot CI fails. This is because an imx8mq requires an external binary (signed_hdmi_imx8m.bin). If this file cannot be found mkimage fails. To be able to build this board in the u-boot CI a binman option (--fake-ext-blobs) is introduced that can be switched on via the u-boot makefile option BINMAN_FAKE_EXT_BLOBS. With that the needed dummy files are created.

Since this ends up being a problem for a number of boards, does anyone have comments on this? At first glance, this seems reasonable to me, and a follow-up making CI make use of this would be handy to finish evaluating.
