[U-Boot] [RFC/RFT U-Boot PATCH] image: Add Image.gz parsing support in booti.
Add gz parsing logic so that booti can parse both Image and Image.gz to boot Linux. Currently, it is difficult to calculate a safe address for every board where the Image.gz can be decompressed. It is also not possible to figure out the size of the compressed file as well. Thus, user need to set two additional environment variables kernel_gz_addr_r and kernel_gz_size to make Image.gz work.
Tested on HiFive Unleashed and Qemu for RISC-V.

Apologies for the previous email that added some mail headers in the content because of my email client issue.

I could not test this patch on any ARM64 devices due to lack of access to any ARM64 board. If anybody can test it on ARM64, that would be great.
Can we do the compression check more generally? I'd like to be able to see Image.xz/lz4/etc be able to be handled cleanly. When you say the compressed file, you do mean the Image.gz (for example) itself, right? I would suggest documenting using $filesize after loading the compressed image as that should always be set. Thanks!

This patch is intended only handle Image.gz which is a compressed version of kernel "Image" file. That's why relevant code is only added to booti command.

Yes.

ok. I will change the kernel_gz_size to filesize.

Oh, I missed this part before. You should be able to get fairly far with qemu :)

Right. But the linux kernel will happily spit out a handful of other compressed Image files on arm64. I see riscv is only .gz today, but I want to be able to handle whatever the compression is, so long as we have it available.

I did verify with qemu. I was requesting some tested-by on ARM64 hardware. Sorry for the confusion. I will update the commit text in next version.

Ahh I misunderstood that part. I could not find any existing code to detect to different compression formats.
If I have not missed anything, I can add that code in common/image.c and use that function in booti.c.

Right, it's something we don't have today. But I _think_ we have enough of a general abstraction setup such that just like how we have "load" and "ls" and such that will figure out the underlying filesystem we could have "uncompress" (or perhaps something else, that might be an alias for gunzip already) that will figure out what the compression is based on the header and do the right thing. Thanks!
