During a few months, offsets of files in multi-file images were miscalculated,
this has been fixed by 02b9b22446e3d7ad6a6382be17a1ce79a7de589b,
but unfortunatly, some devices (I'm thinking of the Neo FreeRunner) are using
a broken version of U-Boot.
This problem can easily be worked around at image creation time by adding one
byte of junk at the end of the first (and optionnally second) file, if its
size is a multiple of 4.
It's not really clean, but it shouldn't cause any problem. At least, I haven't
encountered any using this patch.
