[PATCH 5/6] binman: Remove templates after use

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Fri Jul 21 18:07:05 CEST 2023


It is not necessary to keep templates around after they have been
processed. They can cause confusion and potentially duplicate phandles.

Remove them.

Use the same means of detecting a template node in _ReadImageDesc so that
the two places are consistent.
