When creating an entry, check for an expanded version of that entry, then
use it instead. This allows, for example use of:
u-boot {
};
instead of having to write out in full:
u-boot {
type = "section";
u-boot-nodtb {
};
u-boot-dtb {
};
};
Add an implementaion of this and associated documentation.

At present we use 'compress' as the property to set the compression of
a 'files' entry. But this conflicts with the same property for entries,
of which Entry_section is a subclass.
Strictly speaking, since Entry_files is in fact a subclass of
Entry_section, the files can be compressed individually but also the
section (that contains all the files) can itself be compressed. With this
change, it is possible to express that.

Since commit d879616e9e ("spl: fit: simplify logic for FDT loading for
non-OS boots"), the SPL looks at the "os" properties of FIT images to
determine where to append the FDT.
The "os" property of the "firmware" image also determines how to execute
the next stage of the boot process, as in 1d3790905d ("spl: atf:
introduce spl_invoke_atf and make bl31_entry private"). For this reason,
the next stage must be specified in "firmware", not in "loadables".
To support this additional functionality, and to properly model the boot
process, where ATF runs before U-Boot, add the "os" properties and swap
the firmware/loadable images in the FIT image.
Since this description was copied as an example in commit 70248d6a2916
("binman: Support generating FITs with multiple dtbs"), update those
examples as well for correctness and consistency.

FIT (Flat Image Tree) is the main image format used by U-Boot. In some
cases scripts are used to create FITs within the U-Boot build system. This
is not ideal for various reasons:
- Each architecture has its own slightly different script
- There are no tests
- Some are written in shell, some in Python
To help address this, add support for FIT generation to binman. This works
by putting the FIT source directly in the binman definition, with the
ability to adjust parameters, etc. The contents of each FIT image come
from sub-entries of the image, as is normal with binman.

At present these two sections of code are linked together into a single
2KB chunk in a single file. Some Intel SoCs like to have a FIT (Firmware
Interface Table) in the ROM and the pointer for this needs to go at
0xffffffc0 which is in the middle of these two sections.

include just the 16-bit data.
Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
At present binman has a single entry type for the 16-bit code code needed
to start up an x86 processor. This entry is intended to include both the
reset vector itself as well as the code to move to 32-bit mode.
However this is not very flexible since in some cases other data needs to
be included at the top of the SPI flash, in between these two pieces. For
example Intel requires that a FIT (Firmware Image Table) pointer be placed
0x40 bytes before the end of the ROM.
To deal with this, add a new reset entry for just the reset vector. A
subsequent change will adjust the existing 'start16' entry.

When support for sections (and thus hierarchical images) was added to
binman, the decision was made to create a new Section class which could
be used by both Image and an Entry_section class. The decision between
using inheritance and composition was tricky to make, but in the end it
was decided that Image was different enough from Entry that it made sense
to put the implementation of sections in an entirely separate class. It
also has the advantage that core Image code does have to rely on an entry
class in the etype directory.
This work was mostly completed in commit:
8f1da50ccc "binman: Refactor much of the image code into 'section'
As a result of this, the Section class has its own version of things like
offset and size and these must be kept in sync with the parent
Entry_section class in some cases.
In the last year it has become apparent that the cost of keeping things in
sync is larger than expected, since more and more code wants to access
these properties.
An alternative approach, previously considered and rejected, now seems
better.
Adjust Image to be a subclass of Entry_section. Move the code from Section
(in bsection.py) to Entry_section and delete Section. Update all tests
accordingly.
This requires substantial changes to Image. Overall the changes reduce
code size by about 240 lines. While much of that is just boilerplate from
Section, there are quite a few functions in Entry_section which now do not
need to be overiden from Entry. This suggests the change is beneficial
even without further functionality being added.
A side benefit is that the properties of sections are now consistent with
other entries. This fixes a problem in testListCmd() where some properties
are missing for sections.
Unfortunately this is a very large commit since it is not feasible to do
the migration piecemeal. Given the substantial tests available and the
100% code coverage of binman, we should be able to do this safely.
