Hmm, I think we might want to use the lmb functions here to allocate a buffer instead of relyling on malloc? The malloc pool might be large enough for an uncompressed devicetree, but not for an 8 MByte FPGA image...
But starting with malloc might be ok.
Okay, that sounds like a good possible improvement for later. For now, you can always just specify a load address for the FPGA image so that it doesn't need to allocate a separate buffer.
The reason I discontinued that patch was that I started adding a feature to mkimage to add a property for the uncompressed size. This is still pending work I haven't sent to the ML, but I do want to continue it once I find the time.
Yeah, that would make all of this a lot cleaner.
So maybe we could move on with a v2 of your patch that uncompresses everything but the kernel? I'd like to test that with my compressed FPGA images then.
Sounds good, v2 sent out.
