[U-Boot] [PATCH 28/29] binman: Add a SetCalculatedProperties() method

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Wed Jun 6 00:47:04 UTC 2018


Once binman has packed the image, the position and size of each entry is
known. It is then possible for binman to update the device tree with these
positions. Since placeholder values have been added, this does not affect
the size of the device tree and therefore the packing does not need to be
performed again.

Add a new SetCalculatedProperties method to handle this.

+2. ProcessFdt() - process the device tree information as required by the
 particular entry. This may involve adding or deleting properties. If the
 processing is complete, this method should return True. If the processing
 cannot complete because it needs the ProcessFdt() method of another entry to
 run first, this method should return False, in which case it will be called
