2023-02-06cmd: Add a SEAMA image load commandLinus Walleij
Add a command to load SEAMA (Seattle Image), a NAND flash on-flash storage format. This type of flash image is found in some D-Link routers such as DIR-645, DIR-842, DIR-859, DIR-860L, DIR-885L, DIR890L and DCH-M225, as well as in WD and NEC routers on the ath79 (MIPS), Broadcom BCM53xx, and RAMIPS platforms. This U-Boot command will read and decode a SEAMA image from raw NAND flash on any platform. As it is always using big endian format for the data decoding is always necessary on platforms such as ARM. The command is needed to read a SEAMA-encoded boot image on the D-Link DIR-890L router for boot from NAND flash in an upcoming port of U-Boot to the Broadcom Northstar (BCM4709, BCM53xx) architecture. A basic test and documentation is added as well. The test must be run on a target with NAND flash support and at least one resident SEAMA image in flash.
