The new atmelimage converts a machine code BLOB to bootable ROM image. Atmel
ROM has no sophisticated image format, it only checks the first 7 ARM vectors.
The vectors can contain valid B or LDR opcodes, the 6'th vector contains the
image size to load.
Additionally the PMECC header can be written by the atmelimage target. The
parameters must be given via the -n switch as a coma separated list. For
example:
mkimage -T atmelimage \
-n usePmecc=1,sectorPerPage=4,sectorSize=512,spareSize=64,eccBits=4,eccOffset=36 \
-d spl/u-boot-spl.bin boot.bin
A provided image can be checked for correct header setup. It prints out the
PMECC header parameters if it has one and the 6'th interrupt vector content.

A SPL binary modified with the atmelimage mkimage target was succesfully
booted on a sama5d34ek via MMC and NAND.

This patch add support for gpimage format as a preparatory
patch for porting u-boot for keystone2 devices and is
based on omapimage format. It re-uses gph header to store the
size and loadaddr as done in omapimage.c

In order to avoid duplicating code and keep only one point of modification,
the functions, structs and defines useful for "dumpimage" were moved from
"mkimage" to a common module called "imagetool".
This modification also weakens the coupling between image types (FIT, IMX, MXS,
and so on) and image tools (mkimage and dumpimage). Any tool may initialize the
"imagetool" through register_image_tool() function, while the image types
register themselves within an image tool using the register_image_type()
function:
+---------------+
+------| fit_image |
+--------------+ +-----------+ | +---------------+
| mkimage |--------> | | <-----+
+--------------+ | | +---------------+
| imagetool | <------------| imximage |
+--------------+ | | +---------------+
| dumpimage |--------> | | <-----+
+--------------+ +-----------+ | +---------------+
+------| default_image |
+---------------+
register_image_tool() register_image_type()
Also, the struct "mkimage_params" was renamed to "image_tool_params" to make
clear its general purpose.
