Thanks, and in that case, I would like to introduce BOOTCONFIG_ALINE_BITS and
BOOTCONFIG_ALINE_MASK so that we make sure the alignment is power of two.

OK.

Hmm, good point. I expected that the bootconfig command will be used
natively. Hmm, there are 2 options.

- Add endian option to the bootconfig (-le/-be) for cross build.
- Update the footer format to use "ascii" size and checksum.

To generalize the format, latter one is better. But it also involves
the kernel side update too.

Thank you,
