Image for ls1028ardb cannot be built

Background

During the rebase on top of Debian Trixie most of the packages were upgraded to newer version. Among these packages arm-trusted-firmware which has a downstream delta for ls1028ard does not generate all the binaries needed to create the image.

This can be seen at image build as

2025/06/04 04:50:20 ==== Install PBL for ls1028ardb ====
2025/06/04 04:50:20 Action `Install PBL for ls1028ardb` failed at stage Run, error: Failed to read /scratch/mnt/usr/lib/arm-trusted-firmware/ls1028ardb/bl2_sd.pbl

By checking the logs in arm-trusted-firmware the following entries can be found
