[PATCH v5 0/3] binman: Fix preload signing with encrypted FIT

[Paul HENRYS]

This series improves the reliability and efficiency of binman preload
header generation and test it against an encrypted FIT image signed with
a preload header.

When a preload header references other entries (e.g. an encrypted FIT)
through the collection etype, the referenced entries may be rebuilt
multiple times during binman processing. This becomes problematic when
the referenced entry produces non-deterministic output, such as FIT
encryption using random IVs or timestamps, since rebuilding the entry
changes the data.

This series ensures that referenced entries are built only once and that
preload signing is performed after all data is collected. It also avoids
unnecessary repacking or repeated signing operations by the preload.

The changes include:
  * generate preload header placeholders in ObtainContents() and sign
    data only once in ProcessContentsUpdate()
  * mark referenced entries as build_done in the collection etype to
    avoid rebuilding data
  * add a functional test for signing an encrypted FIT with a preload
    header

Changes in v5:
- Generate preload placeholder in ObtainContents() to avoid unnecessary
  repacking
- Move functional test patch to the end of the series
