Basically, the output file is fixed to 14K as same as buffer size.
And the input file should be smaller than 14K.
It's the rule of exynos spl.
The role of mkexynosspl is just adding 4 byte checksum value to end of file.
If the input file is bigger than 14K, output will be truncated.

btw, this change looks reasonable to me.
