Currently, fiptool uses two linked lists. One to chain together all the images and one for all the image descriptors. Initially this was done because not all images had a corresponding image descriptor. This was the case for unknown images which existed in the FIP but there was no descriptor in the builtin table for them. When support for the --blob option came in, we started building descriptors for the unknown images on the fly. As a result every image now has a corresponding image descriptor and therefore it is no longer necessary to keep track of them separately. To simplify the design, maintain only a single linked list of image descriptors. An image descriptor contains a pointer to the corresponding image. If the pointer is NULL, then the descriptor is skipped in all the operations. This approach simplifies the traversal code and avoids redundant lookups. The linked list of image descriptors is populated based on the `toc_entries` array. This means that the order of the images in the FIP file remains the same across add/remove or create/update operations. This is true for all standard images (those specified in `toc_entries`) but not for those specified via the --blob option.
