While converting to binman for an imx8mq board, it has been found that
building in the u-boot CI fails. This is because an imx8mq requires an
external binary (signed_hdmi_imx8m.bin). If this file cannot be found
mkimage fails.
To be able to build this board in the u-boot CI a binman option
(--fake-ext-blobs) is introduced that can be switched on via the u-boot
makefile option BINMAN_FAKE_EXT_BLOBS. With that the needed dummy files are
created.

Since this ends up being a problem for a number of boards, does anyone
have comments on this? At first glance, this seems reasonable to me,
and a follow-up making CI make use of this would be handy to finish
evaluating.
It looks reasonable for me and it is not different as we did before
binman reporting warnings that the binary does not work. Fine if thsi
can be merged, I will unblock some i.MX boards (Heiko's for example)
that I cannot currently merge due to CI failures.

Stefano
