[PATCH] soc: qcom: mdt_loader: Support firmware without hash segment

From: Bjorn Andersson
Date: Fri Dec 13 2019 - 00:15:33 EST


At least some of the firmware found on 8974 does not follow the typical
scheme of having a non-loadable hash segment directly following the ELF
header, in the modem mdt.

Rather than failing the read of metadata, fall back to passing back a
copy of the full first firmware file and let the metadata validator do
its job.
