In both cases, that just affects the size of the file, but does not affect the totalsize field in the fdt header. Wrt. binman, just as I was somewhat misled by the short mkimage -h output into thinking that this already worked as I expected, binman's fit,align documentation can also be read that way - and the _implementation_ certainly currently unconditionally translates a fit,align property into a -B argument to mkimage. So if we don't want mkimage to support a -B by itself, binman documentation and code would probably need another patch to reject that as well. Rasmus
