We can and should run the node generator only when creating a new image.
When we read it back, there is no need to generate nodes - they already
exits, and binman does not dive that deep into the image - and there is
no way to provide the required fdt-list. So store the mode in the image
object so that Entry_fit can simply skip generator nodes when reading
them from an fdtmap.
This unbreaks all read-backs of images that contain generator nodes in
their fdtmap. To confirm this, add a corresponding test case.

Since this is a list of blobs, each blob should have the ability to be
faked, as with blob-ext. Update the Entry base class to set allow_fake
and use the base class in the section code also, so that this propagagtes
to blob-ext-list, which is not a section.
Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
At present binman writes fake blobs to the current directory. This is not
very helpful, since the files serve no useful purpose once binman has
finished. They clutter up the source directory and affect future runs,
since the files in the current directory are often used in preference to
those in the board directory.
To avoid these problems, write them to the output directory instead.
Move the file-creation code to the Entry base class, so it can be used by
any entry type that needs it. This is required since some entry types,
such as Entry_blob_ext_list, are not subclasses of Entry_blob.

While converting to binman for an imx8mq board, it has been found that
building in the u-boot CI fails. This is because an imx8mq requires an
external binary (signed_hdmi_imx8m.bin). If this file cannot be found
mkimage fails.
To be able to build this board in the u-boot CI a binman option
(--fake-ext-blobs) is introduced that can be switched on via the u-boot
makefile option BINMAN_FAKE_EXT_BLOBS. With that the needed dummy files are
created.

Sometimes it is useful to have a list of related external blobs in a

In some cases entries encapsulate other data and it is useful to access
the data within. An example is the fdtmap which consists of a 16-byte
header, followed by a devicetree.
Provide an option to specify an alternative format when extracting files.
In the case of fdtmap, this is 'fdt', which produces an FDT file which can
be viewed with fdtdump.

If an older version of binman is used to list images created by a newer

The ObtainContents() and GetEntryContents() methods in this file read
every single entry in the section. This is the common case.
However when one of the entries has had its data updated (e.g. with
'binman replace') we don't want to read it again from the file. Allow
the entry to be skipped, for this purpose. This is currently done in the
CBFS implementation, so adding it here will allow that to use more of
the entry_Section code.

Sometimes it is useful to specify the default alignment for all entries

Add a property to control this for a section.
Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
Generally the content of sections is not built until the final assembly
of the image. This is partly to avoid wasting time, since the entries
within sections may change multiple times as binman works through its
various stages. This works quite well since sections exist in a strict
hierarchy, so they can be processed in a depth-first manner.
However the 'collection' entry type does not have this luxury. If it
contains a section within its 'content' list, then it must produce the
section contents, if available. That section is typically a sibling
node, i.e. not part oc the collection's hierarchy.
Add a new 'required' argument to section.GetData() to support this. When
required is True, any referenced sections are immediately built. If this
is not possible (because one of the subentries does not have its data yet)
then an error is produced.
The test for this uses a 'collection' entry type, referencing a section as
its first member. This forces a call to _BuildSectionData() with required
set to False, at first, then True later, when the image is assembled.
