spl: Use standard FIT entries
SPL is creating fit-images DT node when loadables are recorded in selected
configuration. Entries which are created are using entry-point and
load-addr property names. But there shouldn't be a need to use non standard
properties because entry/load are standard FIT properties. But using
standard FIT properties enables option to use generic FIT functions to
descrease SPL size. Here is result for ZynqMP virt configuration:
xilinx_zynqmp_virt: spl/u-boot-spl:all -82 spl/u-boot-spl:rodata -22 spl/u-boot-spl:text -60
The patch causes change in run time fit image record.
Before:
fit-images {
uboot {
os = "u-boot";
type = "firmware";
size = <0xfd520>;
entry-point = <0x8000000>;
load-addr = <0x8000000>;
};
};
After:
fit-images {
uboot {
os = "u-boot";
type = "firmware";
size = <0xfd520>;
entry = <0x8000000>;
load = <0x8000000>;
};
};
Replacing calling fdt_getprop_u32() by fit_image_get_entry/load() also
enables support for reading entry/load properties recorded in 64bit format.
