After some thought, I believe there is an unfortunate naming flaw in
binman. Entries have a position and size, but now that we support
hierarchical sections it is unclear whether a position should be an
absolute position within the image, or a relative position within its
parent section.
At present 'position' actually means the relative position. This indicates
a need for an 'image position' for code that wants to find the location of
an entry without having to do calculations back through parents to
discover this image position.
A better name for the current 'position' or 'pos' is 'offset'. It is not
always an absolute position, but it is always an offset from its parent
offset.
It is unfortunate to rename this concept now, 18 months after binman was
introduced. However I believe it is the right thing to do. The impact is
mostly limited to binman itself and a few changes to in-tree users to
binman:
tegra
sunxi
x86
The change makes old binman definitions (e.g. downstream or out-of-tree)
incompatible if they use the 'pos = <...>' property. Later work will
adjust binman to generate an error when it is used.

64-bit Tegra don't use SPL, and soon won't define CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
when building. Fix the binman .dts file so that it doesn't use undefined
values.

Update tegra to use binman for image creation. This still includes the
current Makefile logic, but a later patch will remove this. Three output
files are created, all of which combine
SPL and U-Boot:
u-boot-tegra.bin - standard image
u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin - same as u-boot-tegra.bin
u-boot-nodtb-target.bin - includes U-Boot without the appended device tree
The latter is useful for build systems where the device is appended later,
perhaps after being modified.
