image.h: isolate android_image_* functions from tooling
On Feb. 16, 2020, Tom reported [1] build failure of U-Boot in-tree tooling after applying https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1229663/ ("[v6,0/7] rsa: extend rsa_verify() for UEFI secure boot"). Later on, Heinrich stressed the urgency of the issue in https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1250858/#2379069: >>>>>>>>> We should finalize the topic as it stops EFI patches from being merged >>>>>>>>> On the surface, the problem is caused by U-Boot commits [2-3], which employed 'u32' in 'include/image.h', while historically U-Boot tooling stayed agnostic on the {u,s}{8,16,32} types. Thanks to Tom, Yamada-san and Heinrich, the following solutions have been put head-to-head ('+' pros, '-' cons): A. Use an equivalent fixed-size type, i.e. s/u32/uint32_t/ in both android function prototypes (image.h) and definitions (c file): + quick and low-line-count - creates a 'soup' of fixed-sized types in the Android C file - will confuse contributors - is going against Linux kernel best practices [4] B. Guard Android functions by '!defined(USE_HOSTCC)' in image.h: + quick and low-line-count + reflects the reality (no android function is used by tooling) + zero impact on other subsystems - ifdeffery may look annoying (pre-existing problem of image.h) C. Make {u8,u16,u32} available in U-Boot tooling: + quick and low-line-count + [Yamada-san][5]: * forbidding u32 for tools is questionable to me * Linux kernel and Barebox use {u8,u16,u32} for the tools space - breaks U-Boot tradition? - has larger impact than [A] and [B] - adds type complexity/inconsistency in the tooling space D. [Yamada-san] Refactor the headers to minimize the code shared between U-Boot space and tooling space: + probably the long-term solution - high effort - can be seen/done as an incremental update on top of [B] Looking at the above, [B] looks like the natural way to go forward.
