riscv: dts: starfive: generate u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out
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.
