This series adds support for loading all image types (Legacy, FIT (with and without LOAD_FIT_FULL), and i.MX) to the MMC, SPI, NOR, NET, FAT, and EXT load methods. It does this by introducing a helper function which handles the minutiae of invoking the proper parsing function, and reading the rest of the image.
Hopefully, this will make it easier for load methods to support all image types that U-Boot supports, without having undocumented unsupported image types. I applied this to several loaders which were invoking spl_load_simple_fit and/or spl_parse_image_header, but I did not use it with others (e.g. DFU/RAM) which had complications in the mix. In order to meet size requirements for some boards, the first two patches of this series are general size-reduction changes. The ffs/fls change in particular should reduce code size across the board. The malloc change also has the potential to reduce code size. I've left it disabled by default, but maybe we can reverse that in the future. Here's some bloat-o-meter for j7200_evm_a72_defconfig with ext4 support enabed: add/remove: 2/1 grow/shrink: 1/5 up/down: 444/-584 (-140) Function old new delta spl_load - 216 +216 spl_simple_read - 184 +184 spl_fit_read 60 104 +44 file_fat_read 40 - -40 spl_nor_load_image 120 76 -44 spl_load_image_ext 364 296 -68 spl_load_image_fat 320 200 -120 spl_spi_load_image 304 176 -128 spl_mmc_load 716 532 -184 Total: Before=233618, After=233478, chg -0.06% For most boards with a few load methods, this series should break even. However, in the worst case this series will add around 100 bytes. I have only tested a few loaders. Please try booting your favorite board with NOR/SPI flash or SPI falcon mode. On sama5d27_wlsom1_ek_mmc_defconfig, 100 bytes is too much, so this series depends on [1] to fit everything in. CI run at [2].

This is not complete, since overhead depends on bl_mask. - Convert semihosting as well - Consolidate spi_load_image_os into spl_spi_load_image Sean Anderson (11): spl: Make SHOW_ERRORS depend on LIBCOMMON spl: Add generic spl_load function spl: Convert ext to use spl_load spl: Convert fat to spl_load spl: Convert mmc to spl_load spl: Convert net to spl_load spl: Convert NVMe to spl_load spl: Convert nor to spl_load spl: Convert semihosting to spl_load spl: Convert spi to spl_load spl: spi: Consolidate spi_load_image_os into spl_spi_load_image common/spl/Kconfig | 1 + common/spl/spl.c | 86 +++++++++++++++++++++++++- common/spl/spl_blk_fs.c | 68 ++++----------------- common/spl/spl_ext.c | 34 ++++++----- common/spl/spl_fat.c | 55 ++++++----------- common/spl/spl_mmc.c | 91 +++------------------------- common/spl/spl_net.c | 25 ++------ common/spl/spl_nor.c | 41 +++---------- common/spl/spl_semihosting.c | 43 +++++-------- common/spl/spl_spi.c | 113 +++++------------------------------ include/spl.h | 27 ++++++++- 11 files changed, 209 insertions(+), 375 deletions(-) -- 2.40.1
