The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes two bootloader linker scripts for Trezor hardware wallets, reducing the alignment padding between code/data sections from 512 bytes down to 4 bytes. The stated purpose is to remove unnecessary padding and save flash space. There is no indication in the commit or supplied references that this fixes a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal size-optimization linker-script change. If auditing, verify that the reduced alignment still satisfies any hardware or cryptographic accelerator requirements (e.g., flash word size, DMA alignment, cryptographic operation buffers) for the affected STM32 platforms.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
