Subject: binman: Add a base implementation of Entry.ReadChildData()
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/login.html?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4e185e8dd7aa3ff7618d228ebfaffb507a569c07;p=u-boot.git

binman: Add a base implementation of Entry.ReadChildData()

At present this function is not present in the Entry base class so it is
hard to find the documentation for it. Move the docs from the section
class and expand it a little.
