While the image size is generally a multiple of 8 bytes, this is not

of the end of output sections if there are no content bytes there. Since
libfdt imposes a hard rule of 8-byte alignment, make the SPL also be
explicit about the alignment when loading the FDT.

We want to keep the SPL code size as small as possible as on many
platforms it is restricted to the cache size.
Can't we fix this linker issue in the linker script by properly aligning
the SPL image end address?
