83d73c2f7c binman: Support compressed entries
Add support for compressing blob entries. This can help reduce image sizes
for many types of data. It requires that the firmware be able to
decompress the data at run-time.

53af22a995 binman: Add support for passing arguments to entries
Sometimes it is useful to pass binman the value of an entry property from
the command line. For example some entries need access to files and it is
not always convenient to put these filenames in the image definition
(device tree).

Add a -a option which can be used like this:

   -a<prop>=<value>

where

   <prop> is the property to set
   <value> is the value to set it to

dbf6be9f7f binman: Add a new 'image-pos' property
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.

3ab9598df7 binman: Rename 'position' to 'offset'
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.

078ab1a2f5 binman: Add a SetCalculatedProperties() method
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.

Add a new SetCalculatedProperties method to handle this.

ecab89737a binman: Add a ProcessFdt() method
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.

c8d48efb2b binman: Add support for adding a name prefix to entries

within that section to have a given name prefix.

83d290c56f SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from.  So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry.  Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.

In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents.  There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

6d427c6b1f binman: Automatically include a U-Boot .dtsi file
For boards that need U-Boot-specific additions to the device tree, it is
a minor annoyance to have to add these each time the tree is synced with
upstream.

file before it is compiled.

The file uses is the first one that exists in this list:

   arch/<arch>/dts/<board.dts>-u-boot.dtsi
   arch/<arch>/dts/<soc>-u-boot.dtsi
   arch/<arch>/dts/<cpu>-u-boot.dtsi
   arch/<arch>/dts/<vendor>-u-boot.dtsi
