The StarFive VisionFive 2 board cannot load spl/u-boot-spl.bin but needs a prefixed header. We have referring to a vendor tool (spl_tool) for this task. 'mkimage -T sfspl' can generate the prefixed file.
Use binman to invoke mkimage for the generation of file spl/u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out.
Update the documentation.

This should probably be:
mkimage { filename = "spl/u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out"; args = "-T sfspl";
u-boot-spl { }; };
@Jonas If I replace the node u-boot-spl by the suggested mkimage node, I get a file spl/u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out which is identical to spl/u-boot-spl.bin. It lacks the header that mkimage should create.
Replacing the blob node by a u-boot-spl node is possible. Whether it is better readable is a matter of taste.
@Simon: Could you, please, have a look at doc/develop/package/entries.rst. It seems not to fully describe how binman is controlled via the device-tree.
* A blob sub-node for the mkimage node is not described. * A mkimage node which is not a direct subnode of binman is not mentioned. * Why the target filename must be outside of the mkimage node in my case is not evident.
Maybe a more formal description of the schema in a yaml file would help.
Best regards
Heinrich
