Binman has a the useful feature of handling missing external blobs gracefully, including allowing them to be missing, deciding whether the resulting image is functional or not and faking blobs when this is necessary for particular tools (e.g. mkimage).
This feature is widely used in CI. One drawback is that if U-Boot grows too large to fit along with the required blobs, then this is not discovered until someone does a 'real' build which includes the blobs.
Add a 'assume-size' property to entries to allow Binman to reserve a given size for missing external blobs.

Applied to u-boot-dm, thanks!
