6b3b4df6f6 rockbox: move firmware checksum algorithms into a common header
Before this was just implemented inline wherever it was needed. Now
it is provided as 2 inline functions in a header called checksum.h.
There should be no differences in actual behavior.

d7b9eb6b63 ROLO - Enable multiboot firmware
I never added multiboot awareness to ROLO

When a new firmware file was loaded [Bootdata] would not be
copied to the new instance resulting in the firmware
running off the internal drive till next reboot

Bootloaders shares the rb-loader code but should not be
affected by the removal of static from write_bootdata()

e9de9c1452 Add boot from other volumes in bootloader on targets with HAVE_MULTIVOLUME
Adds the ability to load firmware from other drives on MULTIVOLUME targets
Mihail Zenkov <mihail.zenkov@gmail.com> had posted a hard coded patch
to allow this on several Sansa players, I made it more universal

Redirect file rockbox_main.<name> should placed in root of
drive you would like to be main, if this file empty or there a single
slash '/' firmware will be loaded from /.rockbox in root of this drive
If instead a /<*DIRECTORY*> is supplied in rockbox_main.<name> then
firmware will be loaded from /<dir>/.rockbox/

NOTES*

The directory can have multiple levels however..
leading slash MUST be included
trailing slash can be omitted
(eg. /test/.rockbox would be simply '/test' in the redirect file)

Redirect file will not work on internal drive (whatever is default boot drive)

Volume with the highest index containing redirect file will be loaded
first.

Firmware file is checked for boot data region, if missing, firmware
image will not be loaded.

On failure or if no redirect file is found load will fallback to
internal drive

Currently only Sansa Fuze+, Sansa Clip+,
Sansa Clip Zip, Sansa Fuzev2, and Sansa Fuzev1 are implemented.

Players (with HAVE_MULTIVOLUME)
will need #define HAVE_BOOTDATA and #define BOOT_REDIR "rockbox_main.<name>"
added to their config file

boot_data is implemented in crt0.s file (See g#1552)
ARM and IMX233 have aleady been implemented

Once these conditions are met <HAVE_MULTIBOOT> will be defined by config.h

Partitions on the drives are able to have a redirect as
well.

41869a6534 Add boot data support to rockbox.
Bootdata is a special location in the Firmware marked by a magic header
The bootloader is able to copy information to the firmware by locating
this struct and passing data to the firmware when it is loaded but
before it is actually executed

Data is verified by a crc of the bootdata

0b29691324 Move load_firmware() to separate file
The idea is to share loading code between bootloaders and rolo().
