This tool is needed by some SoCs to sign the bootloader.
See the list of supported SoCs:
https://github.com/LibreELEC/amlogic-boot-fip
The variable BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_AMLOGIC_BOOT_FIP_DEVICE is used to specify
for which device this package needs to be used.
This tool uses pre-compiled binaries in order to sign the bootloader.
These binaries are provided under a proprietary license that prohibits
any redistribution of the resulting images.
A similar tool was tried to be added in the past:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/1533545408-11248-2-git-send-email-narmstrong@baylibre.com/
This time however a license file is present which can be used by
make legal-info. Additionally, acs_tool.pyc was replaced by acs_tool.py
and is therefore not compiled anymore.
