A quick remark on this, as I've forgotten to write about this:

I would like to change the resulting image name from this specific
"u-boot-mips.bin" to the already known "u-boot-with-spl.bin" name.
There is no need to introduce a new name here and there is nothing
"mtmips" specific in this image type.

Thanks,
Stefan
