[Why] A built firmware binary may be aligned to 16-bytes with padding at the end as necessary. In the case that padding was applied the meta info will not be detected correctly and we won't be able to allocate the appropriate firmware and tracebuffer sizes. [How] To maintain compatibility with already released firmware where this occurs we need to try every meta offset from 0..15 inclusive. Extract out the meta info checker into a helper function that's called for each of these offsets and exit early when we've found it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
