Introduce a magic GUID_PARTITION_LINUX_FIT_GUID to designate a GPT
partition to be interpreted by the FIT partition parser.
In that way, sub-partitions for (external-data) uImage.FIT stored
directly in a partition can be split, similar like we do for devices
with raw flash storage.

Check if firmware environment variable 'rootfs_data_max' exists and is
set to a numerical value greater than 0. If so, limit rootfs_data
volume to that size instead of using the maximum available size.
This is useful on devices with lots of flash where users may want to
have eg. a volume for persistent logs and statistics or for external
applications/containers. Persistence on rootfs overlay is limited by
the size of memory available during the sysugprade process as that
data needs to be copied to RAM while the volume is being recreated
during sysupgrade. Hence it is unsuitable for keeping larger amounts
of data accross upgrade which makes additional volume(s) for
application data desirable.

MediaTek targets always use U-Boot's modern uImage.FIT format which
allows bundling several blobs into a single file including hashes,
descriptions and more. In fact, we are already using that to bundle
the Flattened Device Tree blob with the kernel on this and many
other targets.
In the same fashion, we can now make use of the newly introduced
support for building seperate ramdisk to uImage.FIT with a dedicated
initrd blob checked and loaded by U-Boot instead of embedding the
cpio archive into the kernel itself.
This allows for having larger ramdisks, choosing ramdisk compression
independently of kernel compression (while only kernel is decompressed
by the bootloader) and for more easily replacing or modifying the
filesystem contained in an initramfs image.

Instead of embedding the initrd cpio archive into the kernel, allow
for having an external ramdisk added to the FIT or uImage.
This is useful to overcome kernel size limitations present in many
stock bootloaders, as the ramdisk is then loaded seperately and doesn't
add to the kernel size. Hence we can have larger ramdisks to host ie.
installers with all binaries to flash included (or a web-based
firmware selector).
In terms of performance and total size the differences are neglectible.

Allow for single (external-data) FIT image to hold kernel, dtb and
squashfs. In that way, the bootloader verifies the system integrity
including the rootfs, because what's the point of checking that the
hash of the kernel is correct if it won't boot in case of squashfs
being corrupted? Better allow bootloader to check everything needed
to make it at least up to failsafe mode. As a positive side effect
this change also makes the sysupgrade process on nand potentially
much easier as it is now.
In short: mkimage has a parameter '-E' which allows generating FIT
images with 'external' data rather than embedding the data into the
device-tree blob itself. In this way, the FIT structure itself remains
small and can be parsed easily (rather than having to page around
megabytes of image content). This patch makes use of that and adds
support for adding sub-images of type 'filesystem' which are used to
store the squashfs. Now U-Boot can verify the whole OS and the new
partition parsers added in the Linux kernel can detect the filesystem
sub-images, create partitions for them, and select the active rootfs
volume based on the configuration in FIT (passing configuration via
device tree could be implemented easily at a later stage).
This new FIT partition parser works for NOR flash (on top of mtdblock),
NAND flash (on top of ubiblock) as well as classic block devices
(ie. eMMC, SDcard, SATA, NVME, ...).
It could even be used to mount such FIT images via `losetup -P` on a
user PC if this patch gets included in Linux upstream one day ;)

**What's new**
* Bring support for the Bananapi BPi-R64 to the level desirable for
a nice hackable routerboard.
* Use ARM Trusted Firmware A from source. (goodbye binary preloader)
* Use Das U-Boot from source. (see previous commit)
* Assemble SD-card image using OpenWrt image-commands.
(no gen_sd_cruz_foo.sh added, this is not Raspbian)
* Updated kernel options to support root filesystem.
* Updated DTS to match OpenWrt LAN ports, known LEDs, buttons, ...
* Detect root device, handle sysupgrade, config restore, ...
* Wire up (known) LEDs and buttons in OpenWrt-fashion.
* Build one set of images from SD-card and eMMC.
* Hopefully provide a good example of how things can be done right
from scratch.
**Installation and images**
* Have an empty SD-card at hand
* Write stuff to the card, as root (card device is /dev/mmcblkX)
- write header, gpt, bl2, atf, u-boot and recovery kernel:
`cat *bpi-r64-boot-sdcard.img *bpi-r64-initramfs-recovery.fit > /dev/mmcblkX`
- rescan partitions:
`blockdev --rereadpt /dev/mmcblkX`
- write main system to production partition:
`cat *bpi-r64-squashfs-sysupgrade.fit > /dev/mmcblkXp5`
* Installation to eMMC works using SD-card bootloader via TFTP
When running OpenWrt of SD-card, issue this to trigger installation
to eMMC:
`fw_setenv bootcmd run emmc_init`
Be prepared to serve the content of bin/targets/mediatek/mt7622 on
TFTP server address 192.168.1.254.
**What's missing**
* The red LED is always on, probably a hardware bug.
* AHCI (probably needs DTS changes)
* Ship SD-card image ready with every needed for eMMC install.
* The eMMC has a second, currently unused boot partition. This would
be ideal to store the WiFi EEPROM and Ethernet MAC address(es).

The vendor flash layout of the Linksys E8450 is problematic as it uses
the SPI-NAND chip without any wear-leveling while at the same time
wasting a lot of space for padding.
Use an all-UBI layout instead, storing the kernel+dtb+squashfs in
uImage.FIT standard format in UBI volume 'fit', the read-write
overlay in UBI volume 'rootfs_data' as well as reduntant U-Boot
environments 'ubootenv' and 'ubootenv2', and a 'recovery'
kernel+dtb+initramfs uImage.FIT for dual-boot.
** WARNING **
THIS PROCEDURE CAN EASILY BRICK YOUR DEVICE PERMANENTLY IF NOT CARRIED
OUT VERY CAREFULLY AND EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED!
Step 0
* Configure your PC to have the static IPv4 address 192.168.1.254/24
* Provide bin/targets/mediatek/mt7622 via TFTP
Now continue EITHER with step 1A or 1B, depending on your preference
(and on having serial console wired up or not).
Step 1A (Using the vendor web interface (or non-UBI OpenWrt install))
In order to update to the new bootloader and UBI-based firmware,
use the web browser of your choice to open the routers web-interface
accessible on http://192.168.1.1
* Navigate to
'Configuration' -> 'Administration' -> 'Firmware Upgrade'
* Upload the file
openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery.itb
and proceed with the upgrade.
* Once OpenWrt comes up, use SCP to upload the new bootloader files to
/tmp on the router:
*-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin
*-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip
* Connect via SSH as you will now need to replace the bootloader in
the Flash.
ssh root@192.168.1.1
(the usual warnings)
* First of all, backup all the flash now:
for mtd in /dev/mtdblock*; do
dd if=$mtd of=/tmp/$(basename $mtd);
done
* Then use SCP to copy /tmp/mtdblock* from the router and keep them
safe. You will need them should you ever want to return to the
factory firmware!
* Now flow the uploaded files:
mtd -e /dev/mtd0 write /tmp/*linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin /dev/mtd0
mtd -e /dev/mtd1 write /tmp/*linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip /dev/mtd1
If and only if both writes look like the completed successfully
reboot the router. Now continue with step 2.
Step 1B (Using the vendor bootloader serial console)
* Use the serial to backup all /dev/mtd* devices before using the
stock firmware (you got root shell when connected to serial).
* Then reboot and select 'U-Boot Console' in the boot menu.
* Copy the following lines, one by one:
tftpboot 0x40080000 openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin
tftpboot 0x40100000 openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip
nand erase 0x0 0x180000
nand write 0x40080000 0x0 0x180000
reset
Now continue with step 2
Step 2
Once the new bootchain comes up, the loader will initialize UBI and the
ubootenv volumes. It will then of course fail to find any bootable
volume and hence resort to load kernel via TFTP from server
192.168.1.254 while giving itself the address 192.168.1.1
The requested file is called
openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery.itb
and your TFTP server should provide exactly that :)
It will be written to UBI as recovery image and booted.
You can then continue and flash the production OS image, either
by using sysupgrade in the booted initramfs recovery OS, or by using
the bootloader menu and TFTP.
That's it. Go ahead and mess around with a bootchain built almost
completely from source (only DRAM calibration blobs are fitted in bl2,
and the irreplacable on-chip ROM loader remains, of course).
And enjoy U-Boot built with many great features out-of-the-box.
You can access the bootloader environment from within OpenWrt using the
'fw_printenv' and 'fw_setenv' commands. Don't be afraid, once you got
the new bootchain installed the device should be fairly unbrickable
(holding reset button before and during power-on resets things and
allows reflashing recovery image via TFTP)
Special thanks to @dvn0 (Devan Carpenter) for providing amazingly fast
infra for test-builds, allowing for `make clean ; make -j$(nproc)` in
less than two minutes :)

Build U-Boot for the Linksys E8450 in order to have support for UBI.
The loader has a default environment with scripts handling the reset
button as well as fall-back to recovery firmware. If the loader comes
up without a valid environment found in UBI, it will automatically
make sure UBI is formatted and create a new environment and proceed
to load recovery firmware (either from UBI or via TFTP if recovery is
corrupted or unavailable).
If the button is held down during power-on, the yellow status LED
turns on and the bootloader environment is reset to factory defaults.
If the button is released at this point, the recovery firmware (if
existing) is loaded from UBI and booted.
If the button is continously held down even beyond the point that
the yellow LED turned on, the loader will try to load the recovery
firmware via TFTP from server 192.168.1.254, write it to UBI and
boot.
