[PATCH v4 00/20] binman: Simple templating feature and mkimage conversion

[Simon Glass]

This series converts the mkimage entry type to be a section, i.e. based on
the entry_Section class. This makes it more consistent in its behaviour,
e.g. allowing symbol writing and expanded entries.

A simple templating feature is also introduced, to reduce duplication
when a set of entries must be used in multiple images.

In this version the nodes from the template are placed before any other
nodes, meaning that the template sets the node order. This seems more
consistent than other mechanisms.

This series is available at u-boot-dm/mkim-working

Changes in v4:
- Avoid copying phandle nodes
- Support copying over properties from each template node
- Make sure phandles are not copied
- Copy over properties from the top-level template node
- Add new patch to reduce state.SetInt and bintool cmd to debug level

Changes in v3:
- Add new patch for elf to return number of written symbols
- Add new patch with more detail on how ObtainContents() works
- Fix up some tests which now need SPL and TPL
- Avoid calling ObtainContents() when not needed
- Fix 'specific' typo
- Add a new devicetree file especially for node copying
- Correct logic for merging nodes in order
- Tidy up some comments
- Adjust to use the new example file
- Drop duplicate dts-v1 header
- Add new test case for templating in a FIT
- Add new patch to support writing symbols inside a mkimage image

Changes in v2:
- Drop now-unnecessary methods in mkimage etype
- Correct ordering of template nodes
- Fix 'preseverd' and 'inserter' typos
