The second area of android image was intended to put a 2nd stage
bootloader but in practice were rarely used (in my knowledge).

An proposal was made to the AOSP to (re)use the second area as the dtb[1],
This patch itself doesn't depend on that proposal being accepted but it won't
be that helpful as well if that proposal won't be accepted. But don't do
any harm as well.

Can we get this patch applied now[1/2]?Because some  ARM32 platforms also
want to use the second area to stored dtb or other resource .

Let me know if I need to rebase it or something.

p.s: sorry I was busy with other stuff, so wasn't able timely resend/update
the patches.
