All tests should go into the new "tests" subdirectory. The idea is
that the separate Makefile in that directory will get invoked via
a top-level "make check".

The tests/Makefile should then take care of running all available
tests, returning an appropriate exit status. Future tests may be
functional, examine code metrics (coverage analysis), or both.

For a start, I'd simply like to check that sunxi-fexc is able to
properly compile all the .fex files from linux-sunxi/sunxi-boards.

(Note: This currently FAILS and will probably require adjustments
to both sunxi-tools and the .fex repository. To work around this,
for now I'm applying patches to fix sunxi-boards.)

fexc: Fix .bin header treatment, improve .fex parser

Vendor-provided .fex files have repeatedly shown key-value pairs
(assignments) where the value is an identifier-style string *not*
surrounded by double quotes. The corresponding .bin files confirm
that such values end up as "string" type entries.

So far, our .fex parser has choked on these values. The commit
changes this behavior and treats them as strings now, to allow
processing 'original' .fex without adjustments.

Vendor-provided .bin files have repeatedly demonstrated that our
previous interpretation of this field as version[0] is likely
wrong. Instead, it seems to represent the file size (in bytes)
of the .bin file.

This commit fixes both decompilation (and header checks) and
generation of .bin files, where it will now store the size to
this field.

TODO: It's unclear whether the 'filesize' needs some specific
alignment (and the .bin corresponding padding). A value of
34864 (0x8830) has already been observed, so any possible
alignment is expected not to exceed 16 bytes (0x10). (Currently
our .bin generator doesn't care about any specific alignment.)

This removes the "-g -O0" default (to leave them up to the user
CFLAGS), and adds a switch to ignore "unused result" warnings.
The latter is relevant when trying to compile nand-part.c with

Makefile: Revert sunxi-pio change from 209633ab

The previous commit had introduced a new build rule that made
sunxi-pio always (cross-)compile as part of TARGET_TOOLS. This
originated from a misunderstanding, and is wrong - sunxi-pio
should be part of TOOLS instead.

sunxi-pio is a "dual mode" utility. When run natively on a sunxi
SoC, it can mmap() and manipulate the PIO registers directly. But
it also supports file-based operation, to be used in conjunction
with sunxi-fel (after uploading fel-pio.bin thunk code). This
should work over USB from non-sunxi hosts, and thus puts sunxi-pio
in the TOOLS category. See the fel-gpio shell script for details.

Build system improvements

For now, this is for informational purposes (program version
output), but it might also serve as an anchor point for a

For Linux build testing, we want all targets compiled. To do so
without a cross-toolchain, simply use the host compiler for the
target tools. This can be achieved by setting CROSS_COMPILE to
an empty string.

OSX can't handle this: It neither supports "-static", nor would
it successfully compile meminfo.c. Thus we keep the default
"make", which should only build the 'tools' target.

On Linux we'll also test the install-* targets by requesting
installation to /tmp/sunxi-tools as a post-build step.

This appends sunxi-meminfo to the TARGET_TOOLS, and adds a new rule
to fix the compilation of sunxi-pio (by making it *cross-compile*
for the target).

Additionally adds a new build target "make install-misc".

Minor compilation fixes

(Changing to a proper struct initializer avoids a possible
compiler warning.)
Signed-off-by: Bernhard Nortmann <bernhard.nortmann@web.de>

Fixing the (currently erroneous) compilation of sunxi-pio will
cause "make target-tools" to require a suitable cross-compiler
installed. Otherwise "make target-tools" fails to build.
As that is part of our default target ("make all"), we might
possibly introduce a build breakage on quite a few systems.

Avoid this situation by redefining "make tools" as the default,
and change "make install" to "make install-tools", i.e. limit
the standard targets to those builds that only rely on the host
toolchain. From now, if you actually want to include the cross-
compiling steps, use "make all" or "make install-all" instead.

Also: Add the winsock2 library to LIBS for Windows. When not

For Windows portable_endian.h relies on and includes <winsock2.h>.
Thus it needs to be requested first, otherwise other includes might
pull in <windows.h> and cause a preprocessor warning / compilation
failure (observed with MinGW).

fel: Improve file_upload() when no progress callback is passed

This commit renames the function pointer of type progress_cb_t
for file_upload(). That might help to avoid potential confusion
with other routines that use a boolean "progress" parameter to
indicate whether progress information is desired (at all).
Signed-off-by: Bernhard Nortmann <bernhard.nortmann@web.de>

Until now, the function would always pass `true` as the "progress"
parameter to aw_write_buffer(). This has the potential drawback
of limiting the maximum USB transfer size.

By selectively passing `false` instead (with no progress function
active), we hint that aw_write_buffer() and subsequent routines
don't have to care about callbacks; so that usb_bulk_send() is
free to select a transfer size of AW_USB_MAX_BULK_SEND.

* fel: Add the ability to pass uEnv-style data via FEL

The corresponding format is recognized by having the environment
data (= text) start with a special "#=uEnv" marker. Upon transfer
of such a file, sunxi-fel will detect this condition, and set a
field in the SPL header accordingly - which in turn also requests
U-Boot to auto-import it (i.e. merge with the default environment).

(Note that this requires a U-Boot version that knows about the
new meaning of this field, namely v2016.09 or later. Older U-Boot
versions will fail to import the uEnv-style data.)

The Makefile will now use a script (autoversion.sh) to update
version.h, which in turn defines a VERSION string and gets
included from common.h.

The idea is that version.h normally receives a git-describe
based identifier that represents the current checkout. In
cases where git might not be available, e.g. for builds from
a tarball, the script will instead fall back to a predefined
version (that should reflect the most recent release tag).
