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.
