The AFS v2 partition type appear in later ARM reference designs
such as RealView, Versatile Express and the 64bit Juno Development
Platform.
The image informations is padded with a 32bit word (4 bytes) on
the 32bit platforms and a 64bit word (8 bytes) on the 64bit
platforms. The boot monitor source code gives at hand that this
is because the first entry in the struct mapped over the image
information is a "next" pointer for a linked list, filled in
by firmware after reading in the info block, and always zero
in the flash. We adjust padding by checking what padding gives
the right checksum.
This was tested on:
- Integrator/AP (v1 partitions)
- RealView PB11MPCore (v2 32bit partitions)
- Juno Development System (v2 64bit partitions)
All systems display the images in flash very nicely as separate
partitions, e.g on Juno:
4 afs partitions found on MTD device 8000000.flash
Creating 4 MTD partitions on "8000000.flash":
0x000000040000-0x0000000c0000 : "fip"
0x000000ec0000-0x0000018c0000 : "Image"
0x000000f00000-0x000000f40000 : "juno"
0x000003ec0000-0x000003f00000 : "bl1"

Factor the IIS (Image Information Structure) reading into the
partition parser, giving us a single, clean partition parser
function.

This simplifies the code by factoring in the image footer
parsing into the single function parsing the AFSv1 partitions.

This breaks out the parsing of v1 partitions so we can later add
a v2 partition parser.

Instead of reading out the AFS footers twice, create a separate
function to just check if there is a footer or not. Rids a few
local variables and prepare us to join the actual parser into
one function.

This simplifies the AFS partition parsing to make the code
more straight-forward and readable.
Before this patch the code tried to calculate the memory required
to hold the partition info by adding up the sizes of the strings
of the names and adding that to a single memory allocation,
indexing the name pointers in front of the struct mtd_partition
allocations so all allocated data was in one chunk.
This is overzealous. Instead use kstrdup and bail out,
kfree():ing the memory used for MTD partitions and names alike
on the errorpath.
In the process rename the index variable from idx to i.
