[PATCH u-boot-mvebu 0/7] arm: mvebu: Boot support for 4K Native disks

This patch series allows to build SATA kwbimage for disks which do not
have sector size 512 bytes long. For example 4K Native disks.

SATA kwbimage differs from other kwbimage types in that way, that offset
in its header is stored in SATA sectors units instead of byte units.
Therefore image generator needs to know sector size of the target SATA
disk. Currently both kwbimage and mkimage has hardcoded SATA sector size
to 512 bytes.

This patch series allows to specify custom SATA sector size via a new
config option CONFIG_MVEBU_SPL_SATA_BLKSZ. And add autodetection of the
sector size into kwboot to allow parsing such images.

Maximal theoretical sector size is 32 kB because ATA IDENTIFY command
returns sector size as 16-bit number and sector size should be power
of two.
