The devicetree specification requires 8-byte alignment in
memory. This is now enforced by libfdt since commit
79edff12060f
("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version
v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9")
which included the upstream commit
5e735860c478 ("libfdt: Check for
8-byte address alignment in fdt_ro_probe_()").
This broke the MIPS raw appended DTBs which would be appended to
the image immediately following the initramfs section. This ends
with a 32bit size, resulting in a 4-byte alignment of the DTB.
Fix by padding with zeroes to 8-bytes when MIPS_RAW_APPENDED_DTB
is defined.
