Commit Message

At present the fit implementation creates the output tree while
scanning the FIT description. Then it updates the tree later when the
data is known.

This works, but is a bit confusing, since it requires mixing the scanning
code with the generation code, with a fix-up step at the end.

It is actually possible to do this in two phases, one to scan everything
and the other to generate the FIT. Thus the FIT is generated in one pass,
when everything is known.

Update the code accordingly. The only functional change is that the 'data'
property for each node are now last instead of first, which is really a
more natural position. Update the affected test to deal with this.

One wrinkle is that the calculated properties (image-pos, size and offset)
are now added before the FIT is generated. so we must filter these out
when copying properties from the binman description to the FIT.

Most of the change here is splitting out some of the code from the
ReadEntries() implementation into _BuildInput(). So despite the large
diff, most of the code is the same. It is not feasible to split this patch
up, so far as I can tell.

Doing it in one go makes sense to me as well. In general I like the way
distinct processing actions/steps are being split into their own blocks
or so, and I think this helps move things toward that.

I still wrote some weird ideas below, mostly for the future, since this
patch is mostly moving code around which is fine as is.

I plan to change 'self.section' to 'self' here later, fixes extracting
wrong contents for FIT subentries.

I also plan to change this to a single-level node name instead of the
relative path, lets 'binman extract fit/u-boot' etc. run at all.

I think it's especially visible here what I meant by switching away from
recursion: this recurses through every node but only does anything on
immediate subnodes of "/images" (for now?).

I forgot to handle 'required' while converting FIT to section...

I have an idea for the far future, to let /image/* nodes sometimes be
Entry_collection to handle external offsets in binman so we can take
mkimage completely out of this, but no clue how feasible/desirable that
end goal is.

This is one of the things I was thinking of doing, thanks. I encountered
the same issue when replacing a FIT entry with the same f"{uniq}.fit"
that was used to build it, will try adding a test for that later.

This looked unrelated at first, but as I understand it, changing the
order of things made the bad-operation error happen later and exposed a
breakage from the fdtmap entry trying to parse the mock dtb data.

Well I would really prefer to avoid duplicating mkimage functionality.
I think it is something to look at when binman is more widespread, but
as you can see we are still sorting out the FIT issues.

Yes, that's it.
