Up until now the call to initialize the USB subsystem was hardcoded
for U-Boot running as an EFI payload. This was used to enable the
use of a USB keyboard in the U-Boot shell. However not all boards
might need this functionality. As initializing the USB subsystem can
take a considerable amount of time (several seconds on some boards),
we now initialize the USB subsystem only if U-Boot is configured to
use USB keyboards.

When a driver declares DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag, it wishes to be
bound before relocation. However due to a bug in the DM core,
the flag only takes effect when devices are statically declared
via U_BOOT_DEVICE(). This bug has been fixed recently by commit
"dm: core: Respect drivers with the DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag in
lists_bind_fdt()", but with the fix, it has a side effect that
all existing drivers that declared DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag will
be bound before relocation now. This may expose potential boot
failure on some boards due to insufficient memory during the
pre-relocation stage.
To mitigate this potential impact, the following changes are
implemented:
- Remove DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag in the driver, if the driver
only supports configuration from device tree (OF_CONTROL)
- Keep DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag in the driver only if the device
is statically declared via U_BOOT_DEVICE()
- Surround DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag with OF_CONTROL check, for
drivers that support both statically declared devices and
configuration from device tree

To allow bigger 64 bit prefetchable PCI regions in Linux, this patch
changes the base address and range of the ACPI area passed to Linux.
BayTrail can only physically access 36 bit of PCI address space. So
just chaning the range without changing the base address won't work
here, as 0xf.ffff.ffff is already the maximum address.
With this patch, a maximum of 16 GiB of local DDR is supported. This
should be enough for all BayTrail boards though.

At present in arch_setup_gd() it calls printch(' ') at the end which
has been a mystery for a long time as without such call the 64-bit
U-Boot just does not boot at all.
In fact this is due to the bug that board_init_f() was called with
boot_flags not being set. Hence whatever value being there in the
rdi register becomes the boot_flags if without such magic call.
With a printch(' ') call the rdi register is initialized as 0x20
and this value seems to be sane enough for the whole boot process.

With the '-march=core2' fix, it seems that we have some luck that
the 64-bit U-Boot boots again. However if we examine the disassembly
codes there are still SSE instructions elsewhere which means passing
cpu type to GCC is not enough to prevent it from generating these
instructions. A simple test case is doing a 'bootefi selftest' from
the U-Boot shell and it leads to a reset too.
The 'bootefi selftest' reset is even seen with the image created by
the relative older GCC 5.4.0, the one shipped by Ubuntu 16.04.
The reset actually originates from undefined instruction exception
caused by these SSE instructions. To keep U-Boot as a bootloader as
simple as possible, we don't want to handle such advanced SIMD stuff.
To make sure no MMX/SSE instruction sets are generated, tell GCC not
to do this. Note AVX is out of the question as CORE2 is old enough
to support AVX yet.

With newer kernel.org GCC (7.3.0 or 8.1.0), the u-boot.rom image
built for qemu-x86_64 target does not boot. It keeps resetting
soon after the 32-bit SPL jumps to 64-bit proper. Debugging shows
that the reset happens inside env_callback_init().
000000000113dd85 <env_callback_init>:
113dd85: 41 54 push %r12
113dd87: 55 push %rbp
113dd88: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
113dd8a: 53 push %rbx
113dd8b: 0f 57 c0 xorps %xmm0,%xmm0
Executing "xorps %xmm0,%xmm0" causes CPU to immediately reset.
However older GCC like 5.4.0 (the one shipped by Ubuntu 16.04)
does not generate such instructions that utilizes SSE for this
function - env_callback_init() and U-Boot boots without any issue.
Explicitly specifying -march=core2 for newer GCC allows U-Boot
proper to boot again. Examine assembly codes of env_callback_init
and there is no SSE instruction in that function hence U-Boot
continues to boot.
core2 seems to be the oldest arch in GCC that supports 64-bit.
Like 32-bit U-Boot build we use -march=i386 which is the most
conservative cpu type so that the image can run on any x86
processor, let's do the same for the 64-bit U-Boot build.

Currently building U-Boot as the coreboot payload requires user
to change the build configuration for a specific board during
menuconfig process. This uses the board's native device tree
to configure the hardware. For example, the device tree provides
PCI address range for the PCI host controller and U-Boot will
re-program all PCI devices' BAR to be within this range. In order
to make sure we don't mess up the hardware, we should guarantee
the range matches what coreboot programs the chipset.
But we really should make the coreboot payload support easier.
Just like EFI payload, we can create a generic coreboot payload
for all x86 boards as well. The payload is configured to include
as many generic drivers as possible. All stuff that touches low
level initialization are not allowed as such is the coreboot's
responsibility. Platform specific drivers (like gpio, spi, etc)
are not included.

After some thought, I believe there is an unfortunate naming flaw in
binman. Entries have a position and size, but now that we support
hierarchical sections it is unclear whether a position should be an
absolute position within the image, or a relative position within its
parent section.
At present 'position' actually means the relative position. This indicates
a need for an 'image position' for code that wants to find the location of
an entry without having to do calculations back through parents to
discover this image position.
A better name for the current 'position' or 'pos' is 'offset'. It is not
always an absolute position, but it is always an offset from its parent
offset.
It is unfortunate to rename this concept now, 18 months after binman was
introduced. However I believe it is the right thing to do. The impact is
mostly limited to binman itself and a few changes to in-tree users to
binman:
tegra
sunxi
x86
The change makes old binman definitions (e.g. downstream or out-of-tree)
incompatible if they use the 'pos = <...>' property. Later work will
adjust binman to generate an error when it is used.
