Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
At present, before any entry expansion is done (such as a 'files' entry
expanding out to individual entries for each file it contains), we check
the binman definition (i.e. '/binman' node) to find out what devicetree
files are used in the images.
This is a pain, since the definition may change during expansion. For
example if there is no u-boot-spl-dtb entry in the definition at the start,
we assume that the SPL devicetree is not used. But if an entry later
expands to include this, then we don't notice.
In fact the flexibility provided by the current approach of checking the
definition is not really useful. We know that we can have SPL and TPL
devicetrees. We know the pathname to each, so we can simply check if the
files are present. If they are present, we can prepare them and update
them regardless of whether they are actually used. If they are not present,
we cannot prepare/update them anyway, i.e. an error will be generated.
Simplify state.Prepare() so it uses a hard-coded list of devicetree files.
Note that state.PrepareFromLoadedData() is left untouched, since in that
case we have a complete definition from the loaded file, but cannot of
course rely on the devicetree files that created it still being present.
So in that case we still check the image defitions.

Normally when an entry is created, any entry arguments it has are required
to be provided, so it can actually generate its contents correctly.
However when an existing image is read, Entry objects are created for each
of the entries in the image. This happens as part of the process of
reading the image into binman.
In this case we don't need the entry arguments, since we do not intend to
regenerate the entries, or at least not unless requested. So there is no
sense in reporting an error for missing entry arguments.

Since all communication with the SCP is mediated by ATF, the only thing

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".

Currently, binman always runs the compile tools like cc, objcopy, strip,

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,
