[PATCH 13/14] fdt: Add option to default to most compatible conf in a fit image

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org

From: Gabe Black <gabeblack at chromium.org>

When booting a fit image with multiple configurations, the user either has to
specify which configuration to use explicitly, or there has to be a default
defined which is chosen automatically. This change adds an option to change
that behavior so that a configuration can be selected explicitly, or the
configuration which has the device tree that claims to be compatible with the
earliest item in U-Boot's device tree.

In other words, if U-Boot claimed to be compatible with A, B, and then C, and
the configurations claimed to be compatible with A, D and B, D and D, E, the
first configuration, A, D, would be chosen. Both the first and second
configurations match, but the first one matches a more specific entry in
U-Boot's device tree. The order in the kernel's device tree is ignored.

+/**
+ * fit_conf_find_compat
+ * @fit: pointer to the FIT format image header
+ * @fdt: pointer to the device tree to compare against
+ *
+ * fit_conf_find_compat() attempts to find the configuration whose fdt is the
+ * most compatible with the passed in device tree.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * / o image-tree
+ *   |-o images
+ *   | |-o fdt at 1
+ *   | |-o fdt at 2
+ *   |
+ *   |-o configurations
+ *     |-o config at 1
+ *     | |-fdt = fdt at 1
+ *     |
+ *     |-o config at 2
+ *       |-fdt = fdt at 2
+ *
+ * / o U-Boot fdt
+ *   |-compatible = "foo,bar", "bim,bam"
+ *
+ * / o kernel fdt1
+ *   |-compatible = "foo,bar",
+ *
+ * / o kernel fdt2
+ *   |-compatible = "bim,bam", "baz,biz"
+ *
+ * Configuration 1 would be picked because the first string in U-Boot's
+ * compatible list, "foo,bar", matches a compatible string in the root of fdt1.
+ * "bim,bam" in fdt2 matches the second string which isn't as good as fdt1.
+ *
+ * returns:
+ *     offset to the configuration to use if one was found
+ *     -1 otherwise
