2021-01-18doc: board: freescale: advise to use newer atf and firmwareAndrey Zhizhikin
Update branch and version information of ATF and DDR firmware files to point to latest releases provided by NXP. This is especially critical for imx8mp evk, as the ATF support for that SoC is only available in latest releases. Align all SoCs from imx8m family to use identical revisions of ATF and DDR firmware.

2021-01-18riscv: Add support for SPI on Kendryte K210Sean Anderson
This enables configs necessary for using SPI. The environment is saved to the very end of SPI flash. This is unlikely to be overwritten unless the entire flash is reprogrammed. This also supplies a default bootcommand. It loads an image and device tree from the first partition of the MMC. This is a minimal/least effort bootcmd, so suggestions (especially in the form of patches) are welcome. I didn't set up distro boot because I think it is unlikely that any general-purpose linux distros will ever be ported to this board.

2021-01-16doc/README.gpt: define partition type GUID for U-Boot environmentRasmus Villemoes
When setting aside a GPT partition for holding the U-Boot environment, having a partition type GUID [1] indicating "Linux filesystem" (as most tools default to) is somewhat misleading - and there's no other well-known type GUID that is better suited. So to have a canonical value to put into the type field, define 3de21764-95bd-54bd-a5c3-4abe786f38a8 to mean a partition holding a U-Boot environment. This is a v5 namespace-name GUID [2], generated [3] from a namespace of "25cbcde0-8642-47c6-a298-1a3a57cd256b" and name "U-Boot environment". Should future type GUIDs be defined in the context of U-Boot, it's sensible to use that same namespace GUID.

2021-01-15cmd: Add MBR partition layout control utilityMarek Szyprowski
Add a 'mbr' command to let users create or verify MBR partition layout based on the provided text description. The partition layout is alternatively read from the 'mbr_parts' environment variable. This can be used in scripts to help system image flashing tools to ensure proper partition layout. The syntax of the text description of the partition list is similar to the one used by the 'gpt' command. Supported parameters are: name (currently ignored), start (partition start offset in bytes), size (in bytes or '-' to expand it to the whole free area), bootable (boolean flag) and id (MBR partition type). If one wants to create more than 4 partitions, an 'Extended' primary partition (with 0x05 ID) has to be explicitely provided as a one of the first 4 entries. Here is an example how to create a 6 partitions (3 on the 'extended volume'), some of the predefined sizes: > setenv mbr_parts 'name=boot,start=4M,size=128M,bootable,id=0x0e; name=rootfs,size=3072M,id=0x83; name=system-data,size=512M,id=0x83; name=[ext],size=-,id=0x05; name=user,size=-,id=0x83; name=modules,size=100M,id=0x83; name=ramdisk,size=8M,id=0x83' > mbr write mmc 0 Signed-off-by: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com>

2021-01-13efi_loader: setting boot deviceHeinrich Schuchardt
Up to now the bootefi command used the last file loaded to determine the boot partition. This has led to errors when the fdt had been loaded from another partition after the EFI binary. Before setting the boot device from a loaded file check if it is a PE-COFF image or a FIT image. For a PE-COFF image remember address and size, boot device and path. For a FIT image remember boot device and path. If the PE-COFF image is overwritten by loading another file, forget it. Do not allow to start an image via bootefi which is not the last loaded PE-COFF image. Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.glpk@gmx.de>

2021-01-05dm: Rename U_BOOT_DRIVER_ALIAS to DM_DRIVER_ALIASSimon Glass
We use the U_BOOT_ prefix (i.e. U_BOOT_DRIVER) to declare a driver but in every other case we just use DM_. Update the alias macros to use the DM_ prefix. We could perhaps rename U_BOOT_DRIVER() to DM_DRIVER(), but this macro is widely used and there is at least some benefit to indicating it us a U-Boot driver, particularly for code ported from Linux. So for now, let's keep that name. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2021-01-05dm: Rename DM_GET_DEVICE() to DM_DRVINFO_GET()Simon Glass
This does not get a device (struct udevice *) but a struct driver_info * so the name is confusing. Rename it accordingly. Since we plan to have several various of these macros, put GET at the end instead of the middle, so it is easier to spot the related macros. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2021-01-05dm: Rename U_BOOT_DEVICE() to U_BOOT_DRVINFO()Simon Glass
The current macro is a misnomer since it does not declare a device directly. Instead, it declares driver_info record which U-Boot uses at runtime to create a device. The distinction seems somewhat minor most of the time, but is becomes quite confusing when we actually want to declare a device, with of-platdata. We are left trying to distinguish between a device which isn't actually device, and a device that is (perhaps an 'instance'?) It seems better to rename this macro to describe what it actually is. The macros is not widely used, since boards should use devicetree to declare devices. Rename it to U_BOOT_DRVINFO(), which indicates clearly that this is declaring a new driver_info record, not a device. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

2020-12-18linker_lists: Fix alignment issueSimon Glass
The linker script uses alphabetic sorting to group the different linker lists together. Each group has its own struct and potentially its own alignment. But when the linker packs the structs together it cannot ensure that a linker list starts on the expected alignment boundary. For example, if the first list has a struct size of 8 and we place 3 of them in the image, that means that the next struct will start at offset 0x18 from the start of the linker_list section. If the next struct has a size of 16 then it will start at an 8-byte aligned offset, but not a 16-byte aligned offset. With sandbox on x86_64, a reference to a linker list item using ll_entry_get() can force alignment of that particular linker_list item, if it is in the same file as the linker_list item is declared. Consider this example, where struct driver is 0x80 bytes: ll_entry_declare(struct driver, fred, driver) ... void *p = ll_entry_get(struct driver, fred, driver) If these two lines of code are in the same file, then the entry is forced to be aligned at the 'struct driver' alignment, which is 16 bytes. If the second line of code is in a different file, then no action is taken, since the compiler cannot update the alignment of the linker_list item. In the first case, an 8-byte 'fill' region is added: .u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testbus_drv 0x0000000000270018 0x80 test/built-in.o 0x0000000000270018 _u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testbus_drv .u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testfdt1_drv 0x0000000000270098 0x80 test/built-in.o 0x0000000000270098 _u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testfdt1_drv *fill* 0x0000000000270118 0x8 .u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testfdt_drv 0x0000000000270120 0x80 test/built-in.o 0x0000000000270120 _u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testfdt_drv .u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testprobe_drv 0x00000000002701a0 0x80 test/built-in.o 0x00000000002701a0 _u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testprobe_drv With this, the linker_list no-longer works since items after testfdt1_drv are not at the expected address. Ideally we would have a way to tell gcc not to align structs in this way. It is not clear how we could do this, and in any case it would require us to adjust every struct used by the linker_list feature. One possible fix is to force each separate linker_list to start on the largest possible boundary that can be required by the compiler. However that does not seem to work on x86_64, which uses 16-byte alignment in this case but needs 32-byte alignment. So add a Kconfig option to handle this. Set the default value to 4 so as to avoid changing platforms that don't need it. Update the ll_entry_start() accordingly. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
