[RFC PATCH 2/4] mkimage: sunxi_egon: refactor for multi-architecture support

Thu Jun 17 20:47:49 CEST 2021


Refactor some functions in mkimage sunxi_egon type, in order to prepare
for adding support for more CPU architectures (e.g. RISC-V). In
addition, compatibility for operation w/o specified architecture is
kept, in this case the architecture is assumed as ARM.
