By\ncombining most of the code in one place, it became possible to add more\nfeatures in a consistent way. The 'loadables' feature was much easier to\nplumb in, for example.\n\nWhile fit_image_load() was a substantial advance, it has never been a\nsvelte function and the passing years have not been entirely kind. With\na few new features on the horizon, this is a good time to improve the\nimplementation.\n\nThis series splits much of the code from fit_image_load() into a number\nof smaller functions. Most of the changes are fairly mechanical, with\njust a few renames and tweaks here and there.\n\nThis should make the function much easier to maintain. It may also\nencourage someone to take a look at its callers, which could also use\nsome attention.\n\nCode-size impact: about +8 bytes on aarch64 and +24-40 bytes on arm, due\nto the compiler's register allocation across the new helper functions.\n\n\nSimon Glass (13):\n  boot: Split out the first part of fit_image_load()\n  boot: Move call to fit_image_select() and rename it\n  boot: Tidy up setting of the OS arch on host builds\n  boot: Move type and OS checking into a new function\n  boot: Move handling of the load_op into a separate function\n  boot: Move obtaining data from a FIT image into a function\n  boot: Check the image is allowed before setting os.arch\n  boot: Move the architecture check into check_allowed()\n  boot: Move image-decompression into a separate function\n  boot: Move decomp_image() into handle_load_op()\n  boot: Move setting the OS arch into check_allowed()\n  boot: Drop unnecessary data variable\n  boot: Tidy local variables in fit_image_load()\n\n boot/image-fit.c | 354 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------\n include/image.h  |  11 +-\n 2 files changed, 273 insertions(+), 92 deletions(-)"}
