[PATCH v4 0/4] rockchip: Use external TPL binary to create a working firmware image

[Jonas Karlman]

Rockchip SoCs typically use U-Boot TPL to initialize DRAM, then jumps
back to BootRom to load next stage, U-Boot SPL, into DRAM. BootRom then
jumps to U-Boot SPL to continue the boot flow.

For RK356x there is no support to initialize DRAM using U-Boot
TPL and instead an external TPL binary must be used to generate a
bootable u-boot-rockchip.bin image.

This adds a new rockchip-tpl entry to binman and make use of this new
entry in rockchip-u-boot.dtsi.

Build U-Boot with ROCKCHIP_TPL=/path/to/ddr.bin to generate a
bootable u-boot-rockchip.bin image for RK356x.

I have dropped the RFC patch that was related to showing a friendly
message instead of a generic file not found message when TPL blob is
missing in v3. Will address that in a follow-up series.

The last patch that updates evb-rk3568_defconfig was dropped in v4.
Will address that and more config options in a follow-up series.

Changes in v4:
- Only change init size limit for rk3328 and rk3568
- Drop update evb-rk3568_defconfig patch

Changes in v3:
- Move test function last
- Add help text to Kconfig option
- Add build step for rk3568 to documentation
- Resync init size limit table
- Drop missing message RFC patch

Changes in v2:
- Renamed external-tpl to rockchip-tpl
- Renamed EXTERNAL_TPL to ROCKCHIP_TPL
- Add CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_EXTERNAL_TPL Kconfig option
- New patch to sync init size limit in mkimage
- New RFC patch to improve allow-missing/fake-ext-blobs handling for
  binman mkimage entry

  binman: Add support for a rockchip-tpl entry
  rockchip: Use an external TPL binary on RK3568
  Revert "board: rockchip: Fix binman_init failure on EVB-RK3568"
  rockchip: mkimage: Update init size limit for RK3328 and RK3568
