This patch updates the mksunxiboot tool to optionally add
the default device tree name string to the SPL header. This
information can be used by the firmware upgrade tools to
protect users from harming themselves by trying to upgrade
to an incompatible bootloader.
The primary use case here is a non-removable bootable media
(such as NAND, eMMC or SPI flash), which already may have
a properly working, but a little bit outdated bootloader
installed. For example, the user may download or build a
new U-Boot image for "Cubieboard", and then attemept to
install it on a "Cubieboard2" hardware by mistake as a
replacement for the already existing bootloader. If this
happens, the flash programming tool can identify this
problem and warn the user.
The size of the SPL header is also increased from 64 bytes
to 96 bytes to provide enough space for the device tree name
string.

mksunxiboot limits the size of the resulting SPL binaries to pretty
conservative values to cover all SoCs and all boot media (NAND).
It turns out that we have limit checks in place in the build process,
so mksunxiboot can be relaxed and allow packaging binaries up to the
actual 32KB the mask boot ROM actually imposes.
This allows to have a bigger SPL, which is crucial for AArch64 builds.

mksunxiboot is useful outside of u-boot, it is e.g. used by sunxi-tools.

This patch follows up on a discussion of ways to improve support
for the sunxi FEL ("USB boot") mechanism, especially with regard
to boot scripts, see:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/linux-sunxi/wBEGUoLNRro/rHGq6nSYCQAJ
The idea is to convert the (currently unused) "pad" bytes in the
SPL header into an area where data can be passed to U-Boot. To
do this safely, we have to make sure that we're actually using
our "sunxi" flavor of the SPL, and not the Allwinner boot0.
The modified mksunxiboot introduces a special signature to the
SPL header in place of the "pub_head_size" field. This can be
used to reliably distinguish between compatible versions of sunxi
SPL and anything else (older variants or Allwinner's boot0).

The sunxi platform currently doesn't seem to make any use of the
asm/arch-sunxi/spl.h file. This patch moves some declarations from
tools/mksunxiboot.c into it.
This enables us to reuse those definitions when extending the
sunxi board code (boards/sunxi/boards.c).

Currently some uninitialized padding bytes are written to the output
file, as can be confirmed with valgrind:
$ valgrind tools/mksunxiboot spl/u-boot-spl.bin spl/sunxi-spl.bin
==5581== Syscall param write(buf) points to uninitialised byte(s)
==5581== at 0x4F0F940: __write_nocancel (in /lib64/libc-2.20.so)
==5581== by 0x400839: main (in /tmp/u-boot/tools/mksunxiboot)
==5581== Address 0xffeff5d3c is on thread 1's stack
==5581== in frame #1, created by main (???)
This patch fixes the problem by clearing the whole structure instead
of just a portion of it.

This change is necessary to calculate correct checksum for NAND
boot. Works both for MMC and NAND. Without it BROM rejects boot image
as invalid (bad checksum). (Changes block size from 0x200 to 0x2000).

We should not be aligning the amount of bytes which we try to read from the
disk, this leads to trying to read more bytes then there are which fails.
file_size is already aligned to BLOCK_SIZE before being stored in
img.header.length, so there is no need for load_size at all.
