In some cases it is useful to add a group of files to the image and be
able to access them at run-time. Of course it is possible to generate

Binman currently supports updating the main device tree with things like
the position of each entry. Extend this support to SPL and TPL as well,
since they may need (a subset of) this information.
Also adjust DTB output files to have a .out extension since this seems
clearer than having a .dtb extension with 'out' in the name somwhere.
Also add a few missing comments and update the DT setup code to use
ReadFile and WriteFile().

We use a fake device tree in tests most of the time since tests don't
normally care about the actual data. For example, for U-Boot proper we use
U_BOOT_DTB_DATA which is just a four-character string. This makes testing
the image output against an expected value very easy.
However in some cases, such as when the test wants to check that the DT
output containing particular nodes, we do actually need the real DT. Add
support for this, along with a command-line option to select 'test mode'.

At present we have a few calls to device-tree functions in binman and plan

but plan to add SPL and TPL too.

At present the control module has state information in it, since it is the
primary user of this. But it is a bit odd to have entries and other
modules importing control to obtain this information.
It seems better to have a dedicated state module, which control can use as
well. Create a new module using code from control and update other modules
to use it.

It is sometimes useful to have an area of the image which is all zeroes,

But it is useful to have an explicit means of adding blocks of repeating
data to the image. Add a 'fill' entry type to handle this.

At present each entry has an offset within its parent section. This is
useful for figuring out how entries relate to one another. However it
is sometimes necessary to locate an entry within an image, regardless
of which sections it is nested inside.
Add a new 'image-pos' property to provide this information. Also add
some documentation for the -u option binman provides, which updates the
device tree with final entry information.
Since the image position is a better symbol to use for the position of
U-Boot as obtained by SPL, update the SPL symbols to use this instead of
offset, which might be incorrect if hierarchical sections are used.

After some thought, I believe there is an unfortunate naming flaw in
binman. Entries have a position and size, but now that we support
hierarchical sections it is unclear whether a position should be an
absolute position within the image, or a relative position within its
parent section.
At present 'position' actually means the relative position. This indicates
a need for an 'image position' for code that wants to find the location of
an entry without having to do calculations back through parents to
discover this image position.
A better name for the current 'position' or 'pos' is 'offset'. It is not
always an absolute position, but it is always an offset from its parent
offset.
It is unfortunate to rename this concept now, 18 months after binman was
introduced. However I believe it is the right thing to do. The impact is
mostly limited to binman itself and a few changes to in-tree users to
binman:
tegra
sunxi
x86
The change makes old binman definitions (e.g. downstream or out-of-tree)
incompatible if they use the 'pos = <...>' property. Later work will
adjust binman to generate an error when it is used.

Once binman has packed the image, the position and size of each entry is
known. It is then possible for binman to update the device tree with these
positions. Since placeholder values have been added, this does not affect
the size of the device tree and therefore the packing does not need to be
performed again.

Some entry types modify the device tree, e.g. to remove microcode or add a
property. So far this just modifies their local copy and does not affect
a 'shared' device tree.
Rather than doing this modification in the ObtainContents() method, and a
new ProcessFdt() method which is specifically designed to modify this
shared device tree.
Move the existing device-tree code over to use this method, reducing
ObtainContents() to the goal of just obtaining the contents without any
processing, even for device tree.
