Subject: binman: Add comments to elf_test
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b2b0df8f39a093baf40c8cc775f99fefbaeb7e4e;p=project%2Fbcm63xx%2Fu-boot.git

binman: Add comments to elf_test

The purpose of some of the tests is not obvious from the function names.
Add a few comments to help with understanding.
