On modern Allwinner SoCs (tested: H2+, A64, H5, H6) the BootROM can
actually load the SPL also from sector 256 (128KB) of an SD card or eMMC
chip. For more details, see [1].
In this case the boot source indicator (written at offset 0x28 of SRAM A1)
has bit 4 set, so it's 0x10 for SD card and 0x12 for eMMC.
Add those new values to the existing boot source check to allow booting
the SPL from those "high" disk offsets as well. For this to work, the
value of CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR needs to be adjusted,
for instance to 0x140 (right after the high SPL). Doing this dynamically
sounds desirable, but looks nasty to implement.

At the moment we rely on the infamous get_ram_size() function to learn
the actual DRAM size in U-Boot proper. This function has two issues:
1) It only works if the DRAM size is a power of two. We start to see
boards which have 3GB of (usable) DRAM, so this does not fit anymore.
2) As U-Boot has no notion of reserved memory so far, it will happily
ride through the DRAM, possibly stepping on secure-only memory. This
could be a region of DRAM reserved for OP-TEE or some other secure
payload, for instance. It will most likely crash in that case.
As the SPL DRAM init routine has very accurate knowledge of the actual
DRAM size, lets propagate this wisdom to U-Boot proper.
We re-purpose a currently reserved word in our SPL header for that.
The SPL itself stores the detected DRAM size there, and bumps the SPL
header version number in that case. U-Boot proper checks for a valid
SPL header and a high enough version number, then uses the DRAM size
from there. If the SPL header field is not sufficient, we fall back to
the old DRAM scanning routine.
Part of the DRAM might be present and probed by SPL, but not accessible
by the CPU. They're restricted in the main U-Boot binary, when accessing
the DRAM size from SPL header.

On Allwinner SoCs we use some free bytes at the beginning of the SPL image
to store various information. We have a version byte to allow updates,
but changing this always requires all tools to be updated as well.
Introduce the concept of semantic versioning [1] to the SPL header:
The major part of the version number only changes on incompatible
updates, a minor number bump indicates backward compatibility.
This patch just documents the major/minor split, adds some comments
to the header file and uses the versioning information for the existing
users.

The new Allwinner H6 SoC has its SRAM A1 at neither 0x0 nor 0x10000, but
it's at 0x20000. Thus the SUNXI_HIGH_SRAM option needs to be refactored
to support this new configuration.
Change it to SUNXI_SRAM_ADDRESS, which holds the real address of SRAM
A1 in the memory map.

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.

U-Boot itself might need to identify the boot device, for example to be
able to tell where to load the kernel from when several options are
possible.
Move the logic of spl_boot_device to a function that is compiled both for
the SPL and the main binary.

This patch updates the mksunxiboot tool to optionally add
the default device tree name string to the SPL header. This
information can be used by the firmware upgrade tools to
protect users from harming themselves by trying to upgrade
to an incompatible bootloader.
The primary use case here is a non-removable bootable media
(such as NAND, eMMC or SPI flash), which already may have
a properly working, but a little bit outdated bootloader
installed. For example, the user may download or build a
new U-Boot image for "Cubieboard", and then attemept to
install it on a "Cubieboard2" hardware by mistake as a
replacement for the already existing bootloader. If this
happens, the flash programming tool can identify this
problem and warn the user.
The size of the SPL header is also increased from 64 bytes
to 96 bytes to provide enough space for the device tree name
string.

Traditionally Allwinner SoCs have their boot ROM mapped just below 4GB,
while the first SRAM region is mapped at address 0.
With the extended physical memory support of the A80 this was changed,
so the BROM is now at address 0 and the SRAM region starts right behind
this at 64KB. This configuration seems to be called "high SRAM".
Instead of enumerating the SoCs which have copied this configuration,
let's call a spade a spade and introduce a Kconfig option for this setup.
SoCs implementing this (A80, A64 and H5, so far), can then select this
configuration.
Simplify the config header definition on the way.

The patch converts one of the "reserved" fields in the sunxi SPL
header to a fel_uEnv_length entry. When booting over USB ("FEL
mode"), this enables the sunxi-fel utility to pass the string
length of uEnv.txt compatible data; at the same time requesting
that this data be imported into the U-Boot environment.
If parse_spl_header() in the sunxi board.c encounters a non-zero
value in this header field, it will therefore call himport_r() to
merge the string (lines) passed via FEL into the default settings.
Environment vars can be changed this way even before U-Boot will
attempt to autoboot - specifically, this also allows overriding
"bootcmd".
With fel_script_addr set and a zero fel_uEnv_length, U-Boot is
safe to assume that data in .scr format (a mkimage-type script)
was passed at fel_script_addr, and will handle it using the
existing mechanism ("bootcmd_fel").

The current SPL header, created by the 'mksunxiboot' tool, has size
32 bytes. But the code in the boot ROM stores the information about
the boot media at the offset 0x28 before passing control to the SPL.
For example, when booting from the SD card, the magic number written
by the boot ROM is 0. And when booting from the SPI flash, the magic
number is 3. NAND and eMMC probably have their own special magic
numbers too.
Currently the corrupted byte is a part of one of the instructions in
the reset vectors table:
b reset
ldr pc, _undefined_instruction
ldr pc, _software_interrupt <- Corruption happens here
ldr pc, _prefetch_abort
ldr pc, _data_abort
ldr pc, _not_used
ldr pc, _irq
ldr pc, _fiq
In practice this does not cause any visible problems, but it's still
better to fix it. As a bonus, the reported boot media type can be
later used in the 'spl_boot_device' function, but this is out of
the scope of this patch.

The Allwinner A64 SoC is used in the Pine64. This patch adds
all bits necessary to compile U-Boot for it running in AArch64
mode.
Unfortunately SPL is not ready yet due to legal problems, so
we need to boot using the binary boot0 for now.

This patch extends the misc_init_r() function on sunxi boards
to test for the presence of a suitable "sunxi" SPL header. If
found, and the loader ("fel" utility) provided a non-zero value
for the boot.scr address, then the corresponding environment
variable fel_scriptaddr gets set.
misc_init_r() also sets (or clears) the "fel_booted" variable depending
on the active boot device, using the same logic as spl_boot_device().
The goal is to provide sufficient information (within the U-Boot
environment) to make intelligent decisions on how to continue the boot
process, allowing specific customizations for the "FEL boot" case.

This patch follows up on a discussion of ways to improve support
for the sunxi FEL ("USB boot") mechanism, especially with regard
to boot scripts, see:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/linux-sunxi/wBEGUoLNRro/rHGq6nSYCQAJ
The idea is to convert the (currently unused) "pad" bytes in the
SPL header into an area where data can be passed to U-Boot. To
do this safely, we have to make sure that we're actually using
our "sunxi" flavor of the SPL, and not the Allwinner boot0.
The modified mksunxiboot introduces a special signature to the
SPL header in place of the "pub_head_size" field. This can be
used to reliably distinguish between compatible versions of sunxi
SPL and anything else (older variants or Allwinner's boot0).

The sunxi platform currently doesn't seem to make any use of the
asm/arch-sunxi/spl.h file. This patch moves some declarations from
tools/mksunxiboot.c into it.
This enables us to reuse those definitions when extending the
