      fiptool: support --align option to add desired alignment to image offset · 1c75d5df
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      The current fiptool packs all the images without any padding between
      them.  So, the offset to each image has no alignment.  This is not
      efficient, for example, when the FIP is read from a block-oriented
      device.
      
      For example, (e)MMC is accessed by block-addressing.  The block size
      is 512 byte.  So, the best case is each image is aligned by 512 byte
      since the DMA engine can transfer the whole of the image to its load
      address directly.  The worst case is the offset does not have even
      DMA-capable alignment (this is where we stand now).  In this case,
      we need to transfer every block to a bounce buffer, then do memcpy()
      from the bounce buffer to our final destination.  At least, this
      should work with the abstraction by the block I/O layer, but the
      CPU-intervention for the whole data transfer makes it really slow.
      
      This commit adds a new option --align to the fiptool.  This option,
      if given, requests the tool to align each component in the FIP file
      by the specified byte.  Also, add a new Make option FIP_ALIGN for
      easier access to this feature; users can give something like
      FIP_ALIGN=512 from the command line, or add "FIP_ALIGN := 512" to
      their platform.mk file.

      fiptool: embed fip_toc_entry in struct image · 65caa3d0
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      The struct image has "uuid" and "size" to memorize the field values
      they had in the TOC entry.  So, parse_fip() copies them from struct
      fip_toc_entry to struct image, then pack_images() copies them back
      to struct fip_toc_entry.
      
      The next commit (support --align option) will require to save the
      "offset" field as well.  This makes me realize that struct image
      can embed struct fip_toc_entry.
      
      This commit will allow the "flags" field to persevere the "update"
      command.  At this moment, the "flags" is not used in a useful way.
      (Yet, platforms can save their own parameters in the flags field.)
      It makes sense to save it unless users explicitly replace the image.
