So far creating a bootable SPL image for Allwinner based boards uses
the mksunxiboot tool. Most other platforms seemed to have integrated this
kind of functionality into the common mkimage tool.
Since there is nothing special about the Allwinner image in this respect,
just add support for the so-called "eGON" image type into mkimage. If there
was a particular reason this hasn't been done before, please let me know.
This will eventually allow us to remove mksunxiboot, but I leave it around
for now in case of regressions and since some people depend on it from
external projects.
Patch 1/3 fixes a small annoyance in mkimage -T list.
Patch 2/3 adds the actually support to mkimage, patch 3/3 then switches
the Makefile to use mkimage instead of mksunxiboot.
I tested all 144 Allwinner boards by building each sunxi-spl.bin and
comparing it against the version created using mksunxiboot (using
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH and .scmversion to create reproducible builds).
All files before and after were identical.
Cheers,
Andre
