What does t2 mean? If it is a binary file of some sort perhaps
u-boot-t2.bin would be better?
It's just means "tegra2". I was following the convention that other SPL builds use. I don't have a strong opinion on the name though.

What is this logic for? The dtb file is separate but that doesn't necessarily mean that it must be immediately after the U-Boot image. We provide other options for packaging it, like getenv(). Maybe if you want to create this composite binary you should change its name (u-boot-dtb-t2.bin or u-boot-t2.bin) to indicate what it contains?
This just picks up the name of the u-boot binary so it glues the SPL to the right thing depending if devicetree is in use or not.

The t2 binary is the SPL and u-boot concatenated together into one binary. The whole thing will get loaded into memory by the tegra BootROM. The SPL knows the address of the real u-boot at compile time and uses that as the address for the Cortex A9 to jump to when it comes out of reset.
