[PATCH 0/6] binman: Template fixes and improvements

[Simon Glass]

With the basic template feature in place, some problems have come to
light.

Firstly, keeping the template around while processing entries seems
unnecessary and perhaps confusing, so this is removed.

Secondly this series aims to support phandles in a more intuitive way,
rather than just ignoring them in templates. It includes an experimental
patch to copy phandles from template so that it is possible to so
something like:

   template {
      some_node: some-node {
      };
   };

   image {
      insert-template = <&template>;
   };

with the some_node phandle being copied to the 'image' node, to result in:

   image {
      insert-template = <&template>;

      some_node: some-node {
      };
   };
