    tools: socfpga: Add socfpga preloader signing to mkimage · 832472a9

    Like many platforms, the Altera socfpga platform requires that the
    preloader be "signed" in a certain way or the built-in boot ROM will
    not boot the code.
    
    This change automatically creates an appropriately signed preloader
    from an SPL image.
    
    The signed image includes a CRC which must, of course, be generated
    with a CRC generator that the SoCFPGA boot ROM agrees with otherwise
    the boot ROM will reject the image.
    
    Unfortunately the CRC used in this boot ROM is not the same as the
    Adler CRC in lib/crc32.c. Indeed the Adler code is not technically a
    CRC but is more correctly described as a checksum.
    
    Thus, the appropriate CRC generator is added to lib/ as crc32_alt.c.

    V2: - Zap unused constant
        - Explicitly print an error message in case of error
        - Rework the hdr_checksum() function to take the *header directly
          instead of a plan buffer pointer
