I know I'm late chiming in here, but I want to now, all the same.
First, we need to explain _why_ things are getting so huge.  The answer
is that we're including so many (complete, from Linux) device trees.  So
we should probably update the comments around this area to note why the
bootloader partition is so large, and then pick a good, large, and
aligned with the underlying erase block size partition.
