Currently Makefile produces final mpc85xx image when SPL is not used in custom file u-boot-with-dtb.bin. It is quite confusing name as build process produce also intermediate file standard file u-boot-dtb.bin (which is just intermediate and not bootable). Other platforms use u-boot.bin (UBOOT_BIN) as standard name for final bootable raw image.
So change Makefile rules and binman to produce final bootable file for mpc85xx also into file u-boot.bin. There is just need for mpc85xx to not define default rule for u-boot.bin then instruct binman (via DTS file) to store final image into u-boot.bin (instead of u-boot-with-dtb.bin) and finally rename target u-boot-with-dtb.bin to u-boot.bin.
With this change are also removed custom Makefile hacks for mpc85xx that it produced non-standard output file. And also updated documentation.

At present u-boot.bin has a very standard meaning - it is U-Boot with the DT.
Boards which need something more than that can/should use binman to create a separate file.
I certainly agree that u-boot-with-dtb.bin is a terrible name, though. Something more descriptive would be better.
But is it possible to drop these SoC-specific rules in the Makefile and just build everything needed in the standard binman rule in the Makefile?
