[PATCH RFC] ARM: dove: build multiple pbl images for DT based boards

As my limited Makefile skills are now exhausted, I decided to put this
on list instead. Maybe somebody can give valuable hints on how to make
this idea into a smooth, beautiful patch instead.
What I want to achieve is to have a common pbl entry function for all
DT based boards of one SoC. For now, let's just talk about Marvell Dove
here, but on the long run, I'd like to have it also for the other MVEBU
SoCs. Right now, I guess, each SoC will still have its own "DT board"
but it could also end up in one board for all MVEBU SoCs..
Anyway, first of all, I'd summarize status quo from my current
understanding of how it all works.
For pbl images, barebox picks up all that is in $(pbl-y) and links it
up to one .pbl binary. At that point, the entry function and all symbols
(e.g. __dtb_vendor_board_start) have to be known. The entry function is
derived from the .pbl filename, e.g. start_my_board.pbl. The dtb symbol
is generated in dts make process from the dts base name, e.g.
vendor-board.dts for the symbol above.
>From the .pbl binary then a .pblb is objcopy'd that strips all unused
symbols. The .bplb is compressed to .pblx and finally passed over to the
SoC specific image generation, e.g. kwbimage.
Now, for having one board file for a set of selectable dtbs, you would
need a single entry function name and also a single symbol to access
the linked dtb at runtime. In the example for Dove below, I have chosen
start_dove_dt for the entry function and __linked_dtb_start for the
required dtb.
In the Makefile diffs below, please ignore the $(my-debug-rule) stuff,
that was for me to get some more debug out of the Makefile process.
First of all, I modified the $(obj)/%.pbl rule to allow to override the
entry function name by checking for an ENTRY_%.pbl variable that will
replace the automatically derived one if present. This is done by a
sub-call to pbl-entry. That modification now allows me to set a common
entry function name for each .pbl generated, i.e. always dove_dt_start.
Also, I added a dependeny for EXTRA_%.pbl to allow to depend on more
files than just the generated pbl.lds and objects that have been in
$(pbl-y).
In Makefile.mvebu, that EXTRA_%.pbl variable will be set for each dtb
passed to build a small, generated C file that will take care of linking
the board specific __dtb_vendor_board_start to __linked_dtb_start. To
link this object to the %.pbl, I abused LDFLAGS_%.pbl but that is just
because I was too lazy to work it in properly now.
Basically, that's it. It works and generates the three Dove specific
boot images by adding the .dtbs and provide a BOARD_%.dtb variable
to translate the dtb name to something nicer for the final images.
