image: android: Add functions for handling dtb field
Android Boot Image v2 adds "DTB" payload (and corresponding field in the
image header). Provide functions for its handling:
- android_image_get_dtb_by_index(): Obtain DTB blob from "DTB" part of
boot image, by blob's index
- android_image_print_dtb_contents(): Iterate over all DTB blobs in
"DTB" part of boot image and print those blobs info
"DTB" payload might be in one of the following formats:
1. concatenated DTB blobs
2. Android DTBO format
The latter requires "android-image-dt.c" functionality, so this commit
selects that file for building for CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE option.
Right now this new functionality isn't used, but it can be used further.
As it's required to apply some specific dtbo blob(s) from "dtbo"
partition, we can't automate this process inside of "bootm" command. But
we can do next:
- come up with some new command like "abootimg" to extract dtb blob
from boot image (using functions from this patch)
- extract desired dtbo blobs from "dtbo" partition using "adtimg"
command
- merge dtbo blobs into dtb blob using "fdt apply" command
- pass resulting dtb blob into bootm command in order to boot the
Android kernel with Android ramdisk from boot image
