linking against it, the usage of WS2 conversion functions from

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).

By defining NO_MMAP it's now possible to avoid the usage of
mmap() and munmap(). This benefits platforms that don't support
these functions, e.g. Windows.

Add support for version information 

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.

This way we don't have to introduce new options for retrieving
version info. For those programs that do not output their usage
by default (e.g. because they would process stdin), you may pass
a "-?" option to get help - and thus version information.

* 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).

Add a tool to generate raw NAND images

Generating raw NAND images is particularly useful for boot0 images
creation since the mainline driver is not supporting the funky layout
used by Allwinner's ROM code to load the boot0 binary from NAND.

This tools also allows one to generate raw images for 'normal' partitions
so that they can be flashed before soldering on the NAND on the board
(using a regular NAND programmer).

The tool takes care of generating ECC bytes and randomizing data as
expected by the NAND controller, and re-arranging the ECC/data sections
correctly.

fel: Implement "rmr" commands to force warm reset into AArch32/AArch64

fel-sdboot: Fix header corruption workaround

Now that we have a better understanding of what's causing the issue
that prevented entering FEL sometimes, we can adjust the workaround
code to a proper solution, i.e. skip over the problematic location.

Since the code amounts to less than a dozen ARM instructions, I've
decided to rewrite it as assembly code - fel-sdboot.S replaces the
former fel-sdboot.c.

The commit also includes a new binary (bin/fel-sdboot.sunxi) with
these changes.

This commit adds a new "reset64 <addr>" command "rmr32" that could
be helpful with new 64-bit SoCs. It takes an entry point (address)
parameter, stores it via RVBAR and then issues a RMR write to
request a warm boot into AArch64 mode.

For now, this is useful with the boot process of A64, where we might
wish to transfer control to a 64-bit binary (for ATF or U-Boot).

Such lines do not conform to any known syntax rules.

With this patch, fexc will assume that they represent a special
case (where bin2fex extracted a malformed indentifier from a .bin

script_bin.c decompiles section entries even if they have invalid
indentifiers. Thus malformed .bin files were observed to result in
a .fex that couldn't be processed successfully with the sunxi-fexc
compiler.

This patch makes bin2fex now issue a warning for this kind of keys,
so that they're easier to notice and correct.

Recent original .bin files showed up with a version[0] of 49152
= 0xC000, which won't pass our current sanity checks. Restrict
version[0] check to lower 14 bits, to make it pass again.

(This might require further investigation in the future, as it's
possible that this particular header field actually isn't related
to version data at all.)

Both the error output in function decompile_section() and the
definition of GPIO_BANK_MAX in script.h suffered from an "off
by one" logic. The bank numbering in the .bin is based on 1,
so it should be added to ('A' - 1) for human-readable output,
and the maximum number corresponding to 'N' is 14.

This became apparent when trying to translate a fex2bin-compiled
a80_optimus_board.bin back to its original .fex equivalent.

A test case for this is "fex2bin a-star_kv49l.fex".
