[U-Boot] QE firmware/microcode handling

[Gerlando Falauto]

Hi everyone,

following up Timur's patch on QE microcode:

http://marc.info/?l=u-boot&m=132197537730440&w=2

I was wondering, would it make any sense to *embed* QE's firmware within 
u-boot image itself?
After all, it should be some ~64KB worth of data, right?
Not quite sure whether this has ever been done for similar purposes, but 
to me it looks way more convenient to have a single image file to be 
flashed, rather than reserving room (e.g. within the same NOR flash 
where u-boot lies) for it.
Easier upgrading of this microcode from within the application, is 
perhaps the only reason I could think of for *NOT* doing so.
How to actually implement it, well that's another issue, and on that I'm 
open to suggestions, too.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thanks in advance,
Gerlando
