The bootloader on some H3C devices (for example HPE 1920 switches) only
supports booting from flash by reading an image from an "VFS" filesystem
which spans most of the available flash. The filesystem size is hard-
coded in the bootloader. However, as long as no write operations are
performed in the bootloader menu, it is sufficient if the start of the
partition contains a valid filesystem with the kernel image.
This mtdsplit parser reads the size and location of the kernel image and
finds the location of the rootfs stored after it. It assumes that the
filesystem image matches the layout of one generated by mkh3cvfs, with
a filename of "openwrt-kernel.bin" for the kernel image.

U-Boot has recently added support for having data blobs in uImage.FIT
images stored at offsets after the FDT structure rather than embedding
the data into the FDT structure itself. This is useful as it allows
parts of the image to be mapped by the FIT partition parser, and it
allows the FIT structure itself to be parsed more easily as it usually
fits into single page.
mtdsplit_fit assumed that the total length of an image is identical
to the length of the FDT structure. For uImage.FIT with external data
this assumption no longer holds true.
Add support for uImage.FIT with external data to mtdsplit_fit and in
in that case only split-off rootfs_data -- selecting and mapping rootfs
partition is left to the block partition parser just like on UBI and
block/GPT based platforms.

This is useful for dual-boot setups where the loader sets variables depending

It's required for BCM4908. It cannot use "bcm-wfi-fw" parser because
that one requires *two* JFFS2 partitions which is untested / unsupported
on the BCM4908 architecture. With a single JFFS2 partition "bcm-wfi-fw"
parser will:
1. Fail to find "vmlinux.lz" as it doesn't follow "1-openwrt" file
2. Create partitions that don't precisely match bootfs layout

To parse the ELF kernel loader, a small ELF parser is used that can
handle both ELF32 or ELF64 class loaders. The splitter assumes that the
kernel is always located before the rootfs, whether it is embedded in
the loader or not. If the kernel is located after the rootfs on the
firmware partition, then the rootfs splitter will include it in the
dynamically created rootfs_data partition and the kernel will be
corrupted.
The kernel image is preferably embedded inside the ELF loader, so the
end of the loader equals the end of the kernel partition. This is due to
the way mtd_find_rootfs_from searches for the the rootfs:
- if the kernel image is embedded in the loader, the appended rootfs may
follow the loader immediately, within the same erase block.
- if the kernel image is not embedded in the loader, but placed at some
offset behind the loader (OKLI-style loader), the rootfs must be
aligned to an erase-block after the loader and kernel image.
In case section header table is empty, determine the elf loader size by
finding the end of the last segment, as defined by the program header
table.

This fixes off-by-one error introduced in commit dc76900021
("kernel: Correctly search for the FIT image in mtd partition.")
Function `mtd_read` starts reading at `offset` and
needs `hdr_len` number of bytes to be available. Suppose
the easiest case when `offset` is `0` and `hdr_len` equals
to `mtd->size` - the `for` loop will not be entered even
when enough bytes are available to be read.
Same happens for any non-zero `offset`, when `hdr_len` is
just enough bytes to be read until `mtd->size` is reached.
Imagine that for example `mtd->size=5`, `offset=4` and
`hdr_len=1`. Then `offset+hdr_len=5` and the check has to
be `offset+hdr_len <= mtd->size`, i.e. `5 <= 5`. The
check for `offset + hdr_len` value needs to be inclusive,
therefore use `<=`.

This adds support for uImage used by OpenWrt kernel loader.
The parser searches for uImage header at flash eraseblock boundary
and it might attempt to split any firmware with loader, therefore

is only used when explicitly defined in dts.

This parser's matching function appears to be too generic as it matches
e.g. Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH. That results in incorrect parts parsing.
Luckily this parser is needed by Fon FON2601 only which uses DT-based
ramips target. It means we can depend on mtd subsystem matching of
"fonfxc,uimage" string.
That said triggering this parser based on the "firmware" (or whatever
MTD_SPLIT_FIRMWARE_NAME is) partiiton name is not needed. It can be
dropped which will automatically fix the Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH case.

This reverts commit e92a14709d.
mtdsplit_uimage_parse_fonfxc() gets called in two situations:
1) It was /requested/ from DT using "fonfxc,uimage" compatible string
2) It was called by parsing code after finding "firmware"
(MTD_SPLIT_FIRMWARE_NAME) due to the parser's type
Code added in the /fix/ commit basically just disabled the second case.
If that's the real goal it could be achieved by simply dropping type
MTD_PARSER_TYPE_FIRMWARE. It may however require another solution as
it's possible that some non-DT target actually needs fonfxc uImage
parsing.

We cannot distinguish between fonfxc uImage and generic uImage because
fonfxc uImage header is almost same as generic uImage, except padding
length after image name.
The fonfxc uImage parser is available when specifying directly with DT
compatible property. So this patch adds check if the partition DT node
is compatible with the parser.

The WRGG images exist in both big and little endian variants,
as can be seen from the image generator in
tools/firmware-utils/src/mkwrggimg.c, you either pass
the "-b" flag or not. The D-Link DIR-685 is using little
endian images so we need to support splitting these.
Detect endianness like this: if the kernel entity size
gets silly big (bigger than the flash memory) we are
probably using the wrong endianness.
Example: my kernel of 0x0067ff64 was switched around by
wrong endianness and detected as 0x64ff67a0 (the actual
size in swapped endianness + header 0xa0).
