367ecbf2d3 spl: binman: Check at runtime if binman symbols were filled in
Binman lets us declare symbols in SPL/TPL that refer to other entries in
the same binman image as them. These symbols are filled in with the
correct values while binman assembles the images, but this is done
in-memory only. Symbols marked as optional can be filled with
BINMAN_SYM_MISSING as an error value if their referred entry is missing.

However, the unmodified SPL/TPL binaries are still available on disk,
and can be used by people. For these files, nothing ensures that the
symbols are set to this error value, and they will be considered valid
when they are not.

Empirically, all symbols show up as zero in a sandbox_vpl build when we
run e.g. tpl/u-boot-tpl directly. On the other hand, zero is a perfectly
fine value for a binman-written symbol, so we cannot say the symbols
have wrong values based on that.

Declare a magic symbol that binman always fills in with a fixed value.
Check this value as an indicator that symbols were filled in correctly.
Return the error value for all symbols when this magic symbol has the
wrong value.

For binman tests, we need to make room for the new symbol in the mocked
SPL/TPL data by extending them by four bytes. This messes up some test
image layouts. Fix the affected values, and check the magic symbol
wherever it makes sense.

30e1b0944f binman: Drop unnecessary 'type' property in tests
A few tests declare a type when this can be inferred from the node name.
Drop these lines, since it might cause confusion.

7c15013639 binman: tegra: Adjust symbol calculation depending on end-at-4gb
A recent change adjusted the symbol calculation to work on x86 but broke
it for Tegra. In fact this is because they have different needs.

On x86 devices the code is linked to a ROM address and the end-at-4gb
property is used for the image. In this case there is no need to add the
base address of the image, since the base address is already built into
the offset and image-pos properties.

On other devices we must add the base address since the offsets start at
zero.

In addition the base address is currently added to the 'offset' and 'size'
values. It should in fact only be added to 'image-pos', since 'offset' is
relative to its parent and 'size' is not actually an address. This code
should have been adjusted when support for 'image-pos' and 'size' was
added, but it was not.

To correct these problems:
- move the code that handles adding the base address to section.py, which
  can check the end-at-4gb property and which property
  (offset/size/image-pos) is being read
- add the base address only when needed (only for image-pos and not if the
  image uses end-at-4gb)
- add a note to the documentation
- add a separate test to cover x86 behaviour
