At present it is not possible to discover the contraints to repacking an
image (e.g. maximum section size) since this information is not preserved
from the original image description.
Add new 'orig-offset' and 'orig-size' properties to hold this. Add them to

Compression is currently available only with blobs. However we want to

It is useful to be able to quickly locate the FDT map in the image. An
easy way to do this is with a pointer at the start or end of the image.
Add an 'image header' entry, which places a magic number followed by a

image, or at a chosen location.
As part of this, update GetSiblingImagePos() to detect missing siblings.

An FDT map is an entry which holds a full description of the image
entries, in FDT format. It can be discovered using the magic string at

are in the image and where each entry is located.

Currently binman calculates '_skip_at_start' based on 'end-at-4gb'
property and it is used for x86 images.
For PowerPC mpc85xx based CPU, CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE is the entry
offset of the first entry. It can be 0xeff40000 or 0xfff40000 for
nor flash boot, 0x201000 for sd boot etc, so "_skip_at_start"
should be set to CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.
'end-at-4gb' property is not applicable where CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE +
Image size != 4gb.
Add new property 'skip-at-start' in Section class so that
'_skip_at_start' can be calculated either based on 'end-at-4gb'
or based on "skip-at-start".
Add a test case to check that 'skip-at-start' and 'end-at-4gb'
property can't be used together.

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.

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.

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.

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.
