[PATCH 18/20] binman: fit: Allow running fdtgrep on devicetree blobs

Sat Jul 20 12:49:48 CEST 2024
When using FIT to load firmware builds for multiple models, the FIT must
include a common binary along with a number of devicetree blobs, one for
each model. This is the same mechanism as is used for loading an OS.
However, SPL builds do not normally use the full devicetree, but instead
a cut-down version which various nodes and properties removed.
Add a new fit,fdt-phase property to allow binman to produce these
devicetree blobs.

+Dealing with phases
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+FIT can be used to load firmware. In this case it may be necessary to run
+the devicetree for each model through fdtgrep to remove unwanted properties.
+The 'fit,fdt-phase' property can be provided to indicate the phase for which
+the devicetree is intended.
+
+For example this indicates that the FDT should be processed for VPL::
+
+ images {
+ @fdt-SEQ {
+ description = "fdt-NAME";
+ type = "flat_dt";
+ compression = "none";
+ fit,fdt-phase = "vpl";
+ };
+ };
+
+Using this mechanism, it is possible to generate a FIT which can provide VPL
+images for multiple models, with TPL selecting the correct model to use. The
+same approach can of course be used for SPL images.
+
+Note that the `of-spl-remove-props` entryarg can be used to indicate
+additional properties to remove. It is often used to remove properties like
+`clock-names` and `pinctrl-names` which are not needed in SPL builds.
+
+See :ref:`fdtgrep_filter` for more information.
