binman: Add support for adding a name prefix to entries

2018-06-07T19:25:08Z

Sometimes we have several sections which repeat the same entries (e.g. for a read-only and read-write version of the same section). It is useful to be able to tell these entries apart by name. Add a new 'name-prefix' property for sections, which causes all entries within that section to have a given name prefix. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add support for outputing a map file

2018-06-07T19:25:08Z

It is useful to be able to see a list of regions in each image produced by binman. Add a -m option to output this information in a '.map' file alongside the image file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add support for sections

2018-06-07T19:25:08Z

It is useful to be able to split an image into multiple sections, each with its own size and position, for cases where a flash device has read-only and read-write portions. Add support for this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Refactor much of the image code into 'section'

2018-06-07T19:25:07Z

We want to support multiple sections within a single image. To do this, move most of the Image class implementation into a new Section class. An Image contains only a single Section, but at some point we will support a new 'section' entry, thus allowing Sections within Sections. Use the name 'bsection' for the module so we can use 'section' for the etype module. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass
