[Buildroot] [PATCH] boot/arm-trusted-firmware: add patch to fix fiptool link

["Vincent Stehlé" <vincent.stehle@arm.com>]

When building a fip firmware (BR2_TARGET_ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE_FIP=y), the
TF-A build recipe starts by building the host program fiptool with the
proper build environment variables. Then the main TF-A target firmware
build step takes place, with the expectation that the fiptool program will
be used under the hood if necessary.

In TF-A, the build recipe for the host program fiptool has subtly changed
after v2.7, in commit cf2dd17ddda2 ("refactor(security): add OpenSSL 1.x
compatibility"). This change has the effect to force re-linking fiptool
each time.

If we try to build with Buildroot a fip firmware with a TF-A version after
v2.7 comprising the aforementioned change, the fiptool program is forcibly
re-linked during the main firmware build step. This happens without the
proper build environment variables and consequently, if openssl is not
installed on the host, the libcrypto shared library will not be found by
the linker and the link will fail with the following error:

  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto: No such file or directory

A patch has been integrated into TF-A to avoid re-linking fiptool when not
necessary, which should solve the problem starting with version v2.10. Add
that patch in Buildroot for versions v2.8 and v2.9, to repair the build in
the cases described above.

Hi,

This can be tested with e.g. tests.boot.test_edk2 in an environment with no
openssl (libcrypto) installed.

Best regards,
Vincent.

+Subject: [PATCH] build(tools): avoid unnecessary link
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+In their respective makefiles, cert_create, encrypt_fw and fiptool
+depend on the --openssl phony target as a prerequisite. This forces
+those tools to be re-linked each time.
+
+Move the dependencies on the --openssl target from the tools to their
+makefiles all targets, to avoid unnecessary linking while preserving the
+OpenSSL version printing done in the --openssl targets when in debug.
+
+Fixes: cf2dd17ddda2 ("refactor(security): add OpenSSL 1.x compatibility")
