V3:
 Drops patch 1/5 from V2, add 8QM support, nothing else changed.
 Stefano,
 This patchset was pending in patchwork for more that one month,
 please consider to apply.

V2:
 Drop cleanup Makefile since V1, that patch is not correct.
 Rebased on master

The V2 version:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1118413/

The V1 version:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1096334/

This patchset is to support i.MX8 container loading from SPL,
i.MX8 AHAB secure boot not support FIT image, so we need to
use container image.

Currently still use a fixed offset for the 2nd container(u-boot.cnt),
future patches will drop this fixed offset and use dynamaic offset
according to the size of 1st container for spl.
Only MMC is supported now, future patches will also support SPI/NOR/NAND
following similar style as mmc part, if the mmc part is ok.

Based on the comments in https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1096336/
So I think we have agreed the approach, the only comments that
not addressed from Lukasz is add doc for the container format.
The detailed format could be found in RM
https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/reference-manual/IMX8DQXPRM.pdf
Chapter 5.9.4 High Level Container Format

I'm not the one to judge here and I don't know the rules for U-Boot, but 
only because they have been pending for a long time, doesn't make the 
patches more suitable for upstream. Even more so, if no one has reviewed 
them yet.

So why didn't you add some docs? I support Lukasz's request for a proper 
documentation in some README file. I found it already hard enough to 
find information about the current boot process of the i.MX8 and if you 
need to add even more complexity, please add docs before this gets merged.

Since it was there long time, I just thought no one has comments.

Not sure you are working i.MX8 and i.MX8M both. Or just i.MX8M.
There is a README in the i.MX8QM/QXP board file shows the steps to build images.
Or you wanna me to put the container format from Reference Manual
to U-Boot?

Peng.

For now I'm only working on i.MX8M. But if I ever would need to work on 
i.MX8, I would be glad to have a proper documentation of how the 
container format is used in U-Boot and what happens while booting. What 
happens in the different stages, which image is copied to what address 
and things like that.

Thanks,
Frieder

If you don't get _any_ feedback for a long time this usually means
the stuff is too difficult to digest by most of the readers (aka
TLDR symtom).  Adding better documentation (README, commit messaes,
etc.) may help...
