root access and u-boot-test-hooks scripts

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

I'm looking for some feedback and ideas.  Today, in our
u-boot-test-hooks repository we have 2 cases that use sudo, imx_usb and
L4T-based flashing.  Other places that may require root access, such as
mounting a filesystem instead assume an /etc/fstab entry exists and has
"user" as one of the attributes.

Locally, I've extended using "sudo" instead for further access, and so
far have updated the rpi3_mount script to be like the flashair one and
support all of the platforms (by naming u-boot.bin correctly for the
platform) and I've got an easily re-usable ti-omap writer as well (ti-k3
is harder since you need to build two distinct U-Boots).

Would people rather see more sudo use, or more /etc/fstab setup
required?  I'm happy to adjust what I've done to not use sudo and post
that.
