To store uncompressed bl2 more space is required than partition is
actually defined.

If this doesn't get changed anymore, I'm fine with it... but a question arises:
did you send patches to add your BPI-r3 board(s) to upstream u-boot?
currently i use the rfb dts for r3 in uboot: arch/arm/dts/mt7986a-sd-rfb.dts
this file in upstream uboot has no partitions defined
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/arch/arm/dts/mt7986a-sd-rfb.dts#L144
but i added them there too and i wrote content by offsets to main device (not to partitions).
https://github.com/frank-w/u-boot/blob/2023-04-bpi/arch/arm/dts/mt7986a-sd-rfb.dts#L154
so yes basicly it needs to be send there too, maybe as additional dts.
I strongly encourage you to send this change to u-boot as well as changing the
kernel devicetree... and when you do, you can add a reference to the list and/or
commit @ u-boot on the commit that you'll send here for the kernel... but there's
another question...
...what happens if you run the kernel on a device with an older partition layout?
Does anything break?
I don't think that anything does, since this is read-only anyway, but just to be
sure... :-)
Besides, you have to fix the commit description, but you knew that already.
P.S.: When you post a RFC, giving it the right commit title helps sometimes! :-P
