 for SPL boot has external data. Existence of 'data-offset' can be used to
 identify which format is used.
 
+For FIT image with external data, it would be better to align each blob of data
+to block(512 byte) for block device, so that we don't need to do the copy when
+read the image data in SPL. Pass '-B 0x200' to mkimage to align the FIT
+structure and data to 512 byte, other values available for other align size.
