The Intel Firmware Interface Table (FIT) is a bit of an annoying outlier
among CBFS files because it gets manipulated by a separate utility
(ifittool) after cbfstool has already added it to the image. This will
break file hashes created for CBFS verification.
This is not actually a problem when booting, since coreboot never
actually loads the FIT from CBFS -- instead, it's only in the image for
use by platform-specific mechanisms that run before coreboot's
bootblock. But having an invalid file hash in the CBFS image is
confusing when you want to verify that the image is correctly built for
verification.
This patch adds a new CBFS file type "intel_fit" which is only used for
the intel_fit (and intel_fit_ts, if applicable) file containing the FIT.
cbfstool will avoid generating and verifying file hashes for this type,
like it already does for the "bootblock" and "cbfs header" types. (Note
that this means that any attempt to use the CBFS API to actually access
this file from coreboot will result in a verification error when CBFS
verification is enabled.)
