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.

Enabling CONFIG_BINMAN makes binman run after a build to package any
images specified in the device-tree. It also enables a mechanism for
SPL/TPL to declare and use special linker symbols that refer to other
entries in the same binman image. A similar feature that gets this info
from the device-tree exists for U-Boot proper, but it is gated behind a
CONFIG_BINMAN_FDT unlike the symbols.
Confusingly, CONFIG_SPL/TPL_BINMAN_SYMBOLS also exist. These configs
don't actually enable/disable the symbols mechanism as one would expect,
but declare some symbols for U-Boot using this mechanism.
Reuse the BINMAN_SYMBOLS configs to make them toggle the symbols
mechanism, and declare symbols for the U-Boot phases in a dependent
BINMAN_UBOOT_SYMBOLS config. Extend it to cover symbols of all phases.
Update the config prompt and help message to make it clearer about this.
Fix binman test binaries to work with CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(BINMAN_SYMBOLS).

Since this is an execuable we should be able insert symbol values into it.
Add support for this.
Use common code for this test and the original testSymbols. Use hex
consistently for the values and add some more comments.

It is useful to be able to access the size of an image in SPL, with
something like:
binman_sym_declare(unsigned long, u_boot_any, size);
...
ulong u_boot_size = binman_sym(ulong, u_boot_any, size);
Add support for this and update the tests.

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.

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.

For testing we need to build some ELF files containing binman symbols. Add
these to the Makefile and check in the binaries:
u_boot_binman_syms - normal, valid ELF file
u_boot_binman_syms_bad - missing the __image_copy_start symbol
u_boot_binman_syms_size - has a binman symbol with an invalid size
