[U-Boot-Users] RFC:new multi image format

The current multi image format doesn't really provide any information
about what the images contained inside the multi image are.
I'm suggesting we add a new ih_type, IH_TYPE_MULTI_V2 in which we
have an expanded header for each 'sub image' to describe more details
about it.
I wanted to see what information people felt was important to keep
track of for the 'sub images'.
struct sub_image_header {
uint32_t ih_type; /* sub image type */
uint32_t ih_size; /* sub image size *
uint32_t ih_comp; /* compress type */
uint64_t ih_load; /* Data Load Address */
uint64_t ih_ep; /* entry point */
uint8_t ih_name[IH_NMLEN];
}
Are other fields useful or should we just duplicate the image_header
completely?
