[OE-core] [PATCH 0/3] [RFC] Add support for 'fastboot images'

[Nicolas Dechesne]

Many devices come with 'Android' bootloader that implements fastboot
protocol. This protocol was also added in uboot. This series tries to
make (Android) fastboot image a first class citizen in OE core. While
the fastboot protocol initially came from Android, it is not specific
to Android, and can be used with any standard Linux system as well.

More information abot the fastboot sparse image can be found at [1].

Such support already exists in meta-android, but I thought it would
make sense to move that into OE core, given that it allows any OE
users to reuse this mechanism directly. At least, I wanted to have a
discussion about it and gather others feedback!
