Replace 'u32' by 'uint32_t' in image.h, since the former may lead to
build failures in U-Boot tooling (see [1]).
Avoid using 'uint', since it is not a fixed-width type [2], potentially
leading to a dangerous mismatch between the prototypes and definitions
of the android_image_get_dtb* functions.
This should be the quickest way to overcome the tooling build failure,
with more future-proof solutions being proposed by Yamada-san in [1].

I don't think it is a good idea to start making a soup of types in
Android code and, more generically, anywhere in U-Boot.
Starting with v4.2 commit [*], Linux formally prefers the
{u,s}{8,16,32,64} types. Since U-Boot benefits from the Linux alignment
in pretty much all subsystems, why not trying to follow the same policy?
Do you happen to see any alternative approach to this patch in the list
of options provided by Yamada-san in
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1238245/#2363340 ?

The change below also avoids build failures related to u32:

Whichever way you want to go we should finalize the topic as it stops
EFI patches from being merged.
Best regards
Heinrich
