The second area of android image was intended to put a 2nd stage
bootloader but in practice were rarely used (in my knowledge).
An proposal was made to the AOSP to (re)use the second area as the dtb[1],
This patch itself doesn't depend on that proposal being accepted but it won't
be that helpful as well if that proposal won't be accepted. But don't do
any harm as well.

We are now using an env_ prefix for environment functions. Rename these
two functions for consistency. Also add function comments in common.h.
Quite a few places use getenv() in a condition context, provoking a
warning from checkpatch. These are fixed up in this patch also.

Update the Android image header format to the latest version published
in AOSP. The original code moved to a new repository, so this patch also
updates the reference to that path.

We already support iminfo for other images. The idea
of this patch is start to have a minimal support for
android image format. We still need to print id[] array

If an Android boot image does not contain a ramdisk, make sure rd_len
and rd_data are returned to indicate no ramdisk rather than just relying
on returning an error.

The two tools that create android boot images, mkbootimg and the fastboot
client, set the kernel address by default to 0x10008000.
U-boot always honors this field, and will try to relocate the kernel to
whatever value is set in the header, which won't be mapped to the actual RAM on
most platforms, resulting in the kernel obviously not booting.
All the targets in U-Boot right now will download the android boot image to
CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR, which means that it will already have been downloaded to
some location that is suitable for execution.
In order to have the kernel booting even with the default boot image kernel
address, if that address is used, just execute the kernel where it is.

This patch makes the following changes:
- Set kernel entry point correctly
- Append bootargs from image to global bootargs instead
of replacing them
- Return end address instead of size from android_image_get_end()
- Give correct parameter to genimg_get_format() in boot_get_ramdisk()
- Move ramdisk message printing from android_image_get_kernel() to
android_image_get_ramdisk()

This patch adds support for the Android boot-image format. The header
file is from the Android project and got slightly alterted so the struct +
its defines are not generic but have something like a namespace. The
header file is from bootloader/legacy/include/boot/bootimg.h. The header
parsing has been written from scratch and I looked at
bootloader/legacy/usbloader/usbloader.c for some details.
The image contains the physical address (load address) of the kernel and
ramdisk. This address is considered only for the kernel image.
The "second image" defined in the image header is currently not
supported. I haven't found anything that is creating this.
v3 (Rob Herring):
This is based on http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/126797/ with the
following changes:
- Rebased to current mainline
- Moved android image handling to separate functions in
common/image-android.c
- s/u8/char/ in header to fix string function warnings
- Use SPDX identifiers for licenses
- Cleaned-up file source information:
android_image.h is from file include/boot/bootimg.h in repository:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bootable/bootloader/legacy
The git commit hash is 4205b865141ff2e255fe1d3bd16de18e217ef06a
usbloader.c would be from the same commit, but it does not appear
to have been used for any actual code.
v4:
- s/andriod/android/
- Use a separate flag ep_found to track if the entry point has been set
rather than using a magic value.
