This change fixes several breakages that were introduced in some build
configurations by the introduction of the cot-dt2c tool.
Some Python environments cannot be managed directly via `pip`, and
invocations of `make`, including `make distclean`, would cause errors
along the lines of:
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
This change has been resolved by ensuring that calls to the cot-dt2c
tool from the build system happen exclusively through Poetry, which
automatically sets up a virtual environment that *can* be modified.
Some environments saw the following error when building platforms where
the cot-dt2c tool was used:
make: *** No rule to make target '<..>/debug/bl2_cot.c', needed
by '<..>/debug/bl2/bl2_cot.o'. Stop.
Additionally, environments with a more recent version of Python saw the
following error:
File "<...>/lib/python3.12/site-packages/cot_dt2c/cot_parser.py",
line 637, in img_to_c
if ifdef:
^^^^^
NameError: name 'ifdef' is not defined
Both of these errors have now been resolved by modifications to the
build system and the cot-dt2c tool to enable preprocessing of the device
tree source file before it is processed by the tool.
As a consequence of this change, the `pydevicetree` library is no longer
vendored into the repository tree, and we instead pull it in via a
dependency in Poetry.
This change also resolves several MyPy warnings and errors related to
missing type hints.
