Hi Ilias,

Thank you for this fix.

I verified that Linux v5.14.3 EFI stub complains about not being aligned to 64k
without this fix and is happy with it, on the following systems:

- qemu with U-Boot latest (after v2021.10)
- Pine64 ROCKPro64 with U-Boot "near" v2021.07[1]
- Lenovo Leez P710 with U-Boot v2021.07[2]
- Compulab IOT-GATE-iMX8 with U-Boot "near" v2021.10-rc3[3]

Feel free to add (or not):

  Tested-by: Vincent Stehlé <vincent.stehle@arm.com>
