[PATCH v2 0/5] rockchip: Use external TPL binary to create a working firmware image

[Jonas Karlman]

Rockchip SoCs typically use U-Boot TPL to initialize DRAM, then jumps
back to BootRom to load next stage, U-Boot SPL, into DRAM. BootRom then
jumps to U-Boot SPL to continue the boot flow.

For RK356x there is no support to initialize DRAM using U-Boot
TPL and instead an external TPL binary must be used to generate a
bootable u-boot-rockchip.bin image.

This adds a new rockchip-tpl entry to binman and make use of this new
entry in rockchip-u-boot.dtsi.

Build U-Boot with ROCKCHIP_TPL=/path/to/ddr.bin to generate a
bootable u-boot-rockchip.bin image for RK356x.

I have included 3 new patches in v2:

First one to sync init size limit in mkimage with vendor u-boot and
SRAM size defined in TRM. Fixes running mkimage with latest vendor TPL
for RK3328.

Second one updates defconfig for evb-rk3568 with new options.

Last patch is an RFC patch to help mitigate an unexpected behavior with
using BINMAN_ALLOW_MISSING=1 and not supplying a value to the
rockchip-tpl-path option. See patch for more details.

Changes in v2:
- Renamed external-tpl to rockchip-tpl
- Renamed EXTERNAL_TPL to ROCKCHIP_TPL
- Add CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_EXTERNAL_TPL Kconfig option
- New patch to sync init size limit in mkimage
- New RFC patch to improve allow-missing/fake-ext-blobs handling for
  binman mkimage entry
