[ptxdist] [PATCH 0/3] Add support for Rockchip firmware blobs

[Michael Riesch <michael.riesch@wolfvision.net>]

Hi all,

Integrating binary firmware blobs provided by vendors into our BSPs
is a nasty part of our job, isn't it... But maybe we can at least
share the efforts to reduce the pain. In this spirit I look forward
to your comments on these patches:

The first patch adds a section dedicated to non-free firmware blobs,
as has been suggested in the firmware-imx rule in DistroKit.
This allows to group the firmware blob rules at a defined point and
disable them with a single switch, if required.

The second patch adds a rule to download the Rockchip binaries, where
the files for the RK3566/RK3568 are in the focus for now. Barebox
support for those two SoCs is coming along rather nicely, but those
blobs are a mandatory requirement.

In similar cases, a separate rule file for barebox have been added to
a ptxdist setup that takes care of integrating the firmware blobs
into the source tree. Maybe a generic approach would eliminate the
need for a different rule file only to copy a few files.

Therefore, the third patch allows to configure files that are
injected into the barebox source tree during preparation. This patch
can be considered as RFC, as my knowledge of the ptxdist internals as
well as my shell script skills leave a lot to be desired. Still I
think you can get the gist.

Have a nice weekend!

Best regards,
Michael
