The debug UART is intended for use very early in U-Boot to debug
problems before serial drivers are up.
Call debug_uart_init right before board_init_f.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

Disabling relocation might be useful on ARC for 2 reasons:
a) For advanced debugging with Synopsys proprietary MetaWare debugger
which is capable of accessing much more specific hardware resources
compared to gdb. For example it may show contents of L1 and L2 caches,
internal states of some hardware blocks etc.
But on the downside MetaWare debugger still cannot work with PIE.
Even though that limitation could be work-arounded with change of ELF's
header and stripping down all debug info but with it we won't have
debug info for source-level debugging which is quite inconvenient.
b) Some platforms which might benefit from usage of U-Boot basically
don't have enough RAM to accommodate relocation of U-Boot so we
keep code in flash and use as much of RAM as possible for more
interesting things.

This commit basically reverts two commits:
1. cf628f772ef2 ("arc: arcv1: Disable master/slave check")
2. 6cba327bd96f ("arcv2: Halt non-master cores")
With mentioned commits in-place we experience more trouble than
benefits. In case of SMP Linux kernel this is really required as
we have all the cores running from the very beginning and then we
need to allow master core to do some preparatory work while slaves
are not getting in the way.
In case of U-Boot we:
a) Don't really run more than 1 core in parallel
b) We may use whatever core for that

This is useful to make sure no stale data exists in caches after bootloaders.
The worst thing could be some lines of cache were locked in a bootloader
for example during DDR recalibration and never unlocked. This may lead
to really unpredictable issues later down the line.

ARCompact cores are not supposed to be used in SMP designs
(this doesn't stop people from creation of heterogeneous chips,
for an example keep reading) so there's no point in
checking ARCNUM and halting somebody if we build for ARC700.
Moreover on AXS101 board we have ARC770 in the ASIC together with
other ARC cores and ARC770 happens to be the last node in JTAG chain
with ARCNUM = 4. And existing check halts the one and only core we
want keep running.

Even though we expect only master core to execute U-Boot code
let's make sure even if for some reason slave cores attempt to
execute U-Boot in parallel with master they get halted very early.
If platform wants it may kick-start slave cores before passing control
to say Linux kernel or any other application that want to see all cores
of SMP SoC up and running.

board_init_f_mem() alters the C runtime environment's
stack it is actually already using. This is not a valid
behaviour within a C runtime environment.
Split board_init_f_mem into C functions which do not alter
their own stack and always behave properly with respect to
their C runtime environment.

[1] Align cache management functions to those in Linux kernel. I.e.:
a) Use the same functions for all cache ops (D$ Inv/Flush)
b) Split cache ops in 3 sub-functions: "before", "lineloop" and
"after". That way we may re-use "before" and "after" functions for
region and full cache ops.
[2] Implement full-functional L2 (SLC) management. Before SLC was
simply disabled early on boot. It's also possible to enable or disable
L2 cache from config utility.
[3] Disable/enable corresponding caches early on boot. So if U-Boot is
configured to use caches they will be used at all times (this is useful
in partucular for speed-up of relocation).

ARCv2 cores may have built-in SLC (System Level Cache, AKA L2-cache).
This change adds functions required for controlling SLC:
* slc_enable/disable
* slc_flush/invalidate
For now we just disable SLC to escape DMA coherency issues until either:
* SLC flush/invalidate is supported in DMA APIin U-Boot
* hardware DMA coherency is implemented (that might be board specific
so probably we'll need to have a separate Kconfig option for
controlling SLC explicitly)

As discussed on mailing list we're drifting away from
CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA in favour to use of board_init_f_mem()
for global data.
So do this for ARC architecture.

Intention behind this work was elimination of as much assembly-written
code as it is possible.
In case of ARC we already have relocation fix-up implemented in C so why
don't we use C for U-Boot copying, .bss zeroing etc.
It turned out x86 uses pretty similar approach so we re-used parts of
code in "board_f.c" initially implemented for x86.
Now assembly usage during init is limited to stack- and frame-pointer
setup before and after relocation.

This separation makes maintenance of code easier because those low-level
interrupt- or exception handling routines are pretty static and usually
require not much care while start-up code is a subject of modifications
and enhancements.

Even though ARCompact and ARCv2 are not binary compatible most of
assembly instructions are used in both. With this change we'll get rid
of duplicate code.
Still IVTs are implemented differently so we're keeping them in separate
files.
