dfu: allow to manage DFU on several devices
Add support of DFU for several interface/device with one command. The format for "dfu_alt_info" in this case is : - <interface> <dev>'='alternate list (';' separated) - each interface is separated by '&' The previous behavior is always supported. One example for NOR (bootloaders) + NAND (rootfs in UBI): U-Boot> env set dfu_alt_info \ "sf 0:0:10000000:0=spl part 0 1;u-boot part 0 2; \ u-boot-env part 0 3&nand 0=UBI partubi 0,3" U-Boot> dfu 0 list DFU alt settings list: dev: SF alt: 0 name: spl layout: RAW_ADDR dev: SF alt: 1 name: ssbl layout: RAW_ADDR dev: SF alt: 2 name: u-boot-env layout: RAW_ADDR dev: NAND alt: 3 name: UBI layout: RAW_ADDR U-Boot> dfu 0 $> dfu-util -l Found DFU: [0483:5720] ver=9999, devnum=96, cfg=1,\ intf=0, alt=3, name="UBI", serial="002700333338511934383330" Found DFU: [0483:5720] ver=9999, devnum=96, cfg=1,\ intf=0, alt=2, name="u-boot-env", serial="002700333338511934383330" Found DFU: [0483:5720] ver=9999, devnum=96, cfg=1,\ intf=0, alt=1, name="u-boot", serial="002700333338511934383330" Found DFU: [0483:5720] ver=9999, devnum=96, cfg=1,\ intf=0, alt=0, name="spl", serial="002700333338511934383330" Signed-off-by: Patrick Delaunay <patrick.delaunay@st.com>
