[PATCH 1/1] hw/arm/aspeed: Automatically zero-extend flash images

[Peter Delevoryas]

One thing that's really annoying about the Aspeed machines is that you
have to provide a flash image that is the same size as the SPI-NOR flash
device the board uses, or something larger. If you don't, you'll get
this obscure error message:

    qemu-system-aarch64: failed to read the initial flash content

Which is just because the file isn't the right size. Zero-extending the
file to 128MB (the largest SPI-NOR flash size) fixes this.

This commit just performs the zero-extend automatically, so people don't
have to maintain bash scripts for it. And if your bash script does this
already, it will be a no-op. And, if your firmware image is larger than
the SPI-NOR device, then it will not truncate it.
