[PATCH v2 02/10] binman: Make compressed data header optional

Mon Aug 8 12:51:17 CEST 2022


From: Stefan Herbrechtsmeier <stefan.herbrechtsmeier at weidmueller.com>

Move the compressed data header handling into the dtb blob entry class
and make it optional. The header is uncommon, not supported by U-Boot
and incompatible with external compressed artifacts.

If needed the header could be enabled with the following
attribute beside the compress attribute:
  prepend = "length";

The header was introduced as part of commit eb0f4a4cb402 ("binman:
Support replacing data in a cbfs") to allow device tree entries to be
larger that the compressed contents. Regarding the commit "this is
necessary to cope with a compressed device tree being updated in such a
way that it shrinks after the entry size is already set (an obscure
case)". This case need to be fixed without influence any compressed data
by itself.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Herbrechtsmeier <stefan.herbrechtsmeier at weidmueller.com>

---

Changes in v2:
- Reworked to make the feature optional.
