[PATCH 0/7] arm64: binman: use binman symbols for imx

[Peng Fan (OSS)]

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan at nxp.com>

binman symbol is a good feature, but only used on X86 for now. This patchset
is to use it for i.MX8M platform.

The current imx8m ddr phy firmware consumes lots of space, because we pad
them to the largest 32KB and 16KB for IMEM and DMEM.

With this patchset we use binman symbols to get firmware location and size,
we could save near 36KB with i.MX8MP-EVK.

Please help check and test

Note: with this patchset, nxp downstream imx-mkimage will not work.
Later patches will follow up to address.

Peng Fan (7):
  spl: guard u_boot_any with X86
  arm: dts: imx8m: update binman ddr firmware node name
  armv8: u-boot-spl.lds: mark __image_copy_start as symbol
  binman_sym: update symbol alignment to 8 bytes
  tools: binman: section: replace @ with -
  ddr: imx8m: helper: load ddr firmware according to binman symbols
  arm: dts: imx8m: shrink ddr firmware size to actual file size
