[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] spl: implement CRC check on U-Boot uImage

Wed Nov 28 20:52:45 UTC 2018


SPL currently does not check uImage CRCs when loading U-Boot.

This patch adds checking the uImage CRC when SPL loads U-Boot. It does
this by reusing the existing config option SPL_CRC32_SUPPORT to allow
leaving out the CRC check on boards where the additional code size or
boot time is a problem (adding the CRC check currently adds ~1.4 kByte
to flash).

The SPL_CRC32_SUPPORT config option now gets enabled by default if SPL
support for legacy images is enabled to check the CRC on all boards
that don't actively take countermeasures.

Changes in v2:
- added Kconfig option SPL_LEGACY_IMAGE_CRC_CHECK to enable/disable
  checking CRC on legacy images
