Allwinner sun50i SoCs contain an OpenRISC 1000 CPU that functions as a
System Control Processor, or SCP. ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF)
communicates with the SCP over SCPI to implement the PSCI system
suspend, shutdown and reset functionality. Currently, SCP firmware is
optional; the system will boot and run without it, but system suspend
will be unavailable.
Since all communication with the SCP is mediated by ATF, the only thing
U-Boot needs to do is load the firmware into SRAM. The SCP firmware
occupies the last 16KiB of SRAM A2, immediately following ATF.

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.

Due to an extra level of indentation, the "data" property containing the

This caused the generated FIT image to be invalid.

Explain that binman interprets these environment variables in the
"External tools" section to run target/host specific versions of the

Currently, binman always runs the compile tools like cc, objcopy, strip,
etc. using their literal name. Instead, this patch makes it use the
target-specific versions by default, derived from the tool-specific
environment variables (CC, OBJCOPY, STRIP, etc.) or from the
CROSS_COMPILE environment variable.
For example, the u-boot-elf etype directly uses 'strip'. Trying to run
the tests with 'CROSS_COMPILE=i686-linux-gnu- binman test' on an arm64
host results in the '097_elf_strip.dts' test to fail as the arm64
version of 'strip' can't understand the format of the x86 ELF file.
This also adjusts some command.Output() calls that caused test errors or
failures to use the target versions of the tools they call. After this,
patch, an arm64 host can run all tests with no errors or failures using
a correct CROSS_COMPILE value.

These test files are currently "intended for use on x86 hosts", but most
of the tests using them can still pass when cross-compiled to x86 on an
arm64 host.
This patch enables non-x86 hosts to run the tests by specifying a
cross-compiler via CROSS_COMPILE. The list of variables it sets is taken
from the top-level Makefile. It would be possible to automatically set
an x86 cross-compiler with a few blocks like:
ifneq ($(shell i386-linux-gnu-gcc --version 2> /dev/null),)
CROSS_COMPILE = i386-linux-gnu-
endif
But it wouldn't propagate to the binman process calling this Makefile,
so it's better just raise an error and expect 'binman test' to be run
with a correct CROSS_COMPILE.

When reading subentries of each image, the FIT entry type directly
concatenates their contents without padding them according to their
offset, size, align, align-size, align-end, pad-before, pad-after
properties.
This patch makes sure these properties are respected by offloading this
image-data building to the section etype, where each subnode of the
"images" node is processed as a section. Alignments and offsets are
respective to the beginning of each image. For example, the following
fragment can end up having "u-boot-spl" start at 0x88 within the final
FIT binary, while "u-boot" would then end up starting at e.g. 0x20088.
fit {
description = "example";
images {
kernel-1 {
description = "U-Boot with SPL";
type = "kernel";
arch = "arm64";
