Like many other projects, U-Boot has a tradition of including big
blocks of License headers in all files. This not only blows up the
source code with mostly redundant information, but also makes it very
difficult to generate License Clearing Reports. An additional problem
is that even the same lincenses are referred to by a number of
slightly varying text blocks (full, abbreviated, different
indentation, line wrapping and/or white space, with obsolete address
information, ...) which makes automatic processing a nightmare.
To make this easier, such license headers in the source files will be
replaced with a single line reference to Unique Lincense Identifiers
as defined by the Linux Foundation's SPDX project [1]. For example,
in a source file the full "GPL v2.0 or later" header text will be
replaced by a single line:
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
We use the SPDX Unique Lincense Identifiers here; these are available
at [2].
Note: From the legal point of view, this patch is supposed to be only
a change to the textual representation of the license information,
but in no way any change to the actual license terms. With this patch
applied, all files will still be licensed under the same terms they
were before.
Note 2: The apparent difference between the old "COPYING" and the new
"Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt" only results from switching to the upstream
version of the license which is differently formatted; there are not
any actual changes to the content.
Note 3: There are some recurring questions about linense issues, such
as:
- Is a "All Rights Reserved" clause a problem in GPL code?
- Are files without any license header a problem?
- Do we need license headers at all?
The following excerpt from an e-mail by Daniel B. Ravicher should help
with these:

| It is not a conflict to grant a license and also reserve all rights, as
| implicit in that language is that you are reserving all "other" rights
| not granted in the license. Thus, a file with "Licensed under GPL, All
| Rights Reserved" would mean that it is licensed under the GPL, but no
| other rights are given to copy, modify or redistribute it.

This patch adds support for networking in SPL. Some devices are
capable of loading SPL via network so it makes sense to load the
main U-Boot binary via network too. This patch tries to use
existing network code as much as possible. Unfortunately, it depends
on environment which in turn depends on other code so SPL size
is increased significantly. No effort was done to decouple network
code and environment so far.

Add support for specifying a differnt CPU for main u-boot and SPL
u-boot builds. This is done by adding an optional SPL CPU after the
main CPU in boards.cfg as follows:
normal_cpu:spl_cpu
This this case CPU will be set to "normal_cpu" during the main u-boot
build and "spl_cpu" during the SPL build.

This can be useful for generic scripts. For example, rather than hard-
coding a script to ext2load tegra-harmony.dtb, it could load
${soc}-${board}.dtb and hence not need adjustments to run on multiple

We provide a default table of { 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 }

the generated config file. This is used when a board has not set its

Parsing of boards.cfg fails on FreeBSD with the error:
sed: 1: "/=/ {s/=/\t/;q } ; { s/ ...": extra characters at the end
of q command
BSD sed expects commands to be on seperate 'lines', hence it expects
an additional ; before the closing brackets.
BSD sed does not support \t, replaced by literal tab.

When building with srctree != objtree, the build creates arch/soc/cpu
specific symlinks in the source tree. This means that the same source
tree can't be used for multiple builds at the same time. Also, these
symlinks in the source tree are only cleaned up if one passes the same
O= to distclean.
When srctree != objtree, mkconfig creates an $objtree/include2 directory
in the objtree to host the asm -> arch/$arch/include/asm symlink so that
"#include <asm>" can be used. But it also creates another identical
symlink in $objtree/include.
Then, mkconfig creates two symlinks:
$objtree/include/asm/arch -> arch/$arch/include/asm/arch-$cpu (or $soc)
$objtree/include/asm/proc -> arch/$arch/include/asm/proc-armv (on arm)
but because $objtree/include/asm points at $srctree already, the two
symlinks are created under $srctree.
To fix this, create a real $objtree/include/asm directory, instead of a
symlink. Update cleanup code accordingly.

We have config_defaults.h which are random configuration settings that
everyone gets by default. We also have config_cmd_default.h which is a
recommended list of defaults but boards have to opt into. Now we have
config_cmd_defaults.h which is a list of defaults that everyone gets
and has to actively opt out of.
For now, we populate it with the bootm command which previously was
unable to be disabled.

When planning for more generalization and Makefile cleanup it became
obvious that the introduction of a separate CONFIG_MK_ name space for
config options that were set through scripting in the Makefile was
not a good idea.
Originally the idea was to provide a script-free approach to supply
configuration options - there was no real need for a separate name
space. But when we now convert the existing Makefile entries to make
use of this approach, it would mean that we have to touch a large
number of board config files and add #ifdef / #define sequences to
"convert" from the CONFIG_MK_ to the CONFIG_ name space.
It seems much cleaner to get rid of this somewhat arbitrary _MK
string now for the few boards that actually use it.

There are some boards where it's currently not possible to detect all
board information at runtime, therefore a new column was added to
boards.cfg .
This column can contain multiple options: a board configuration name,
optionally followed by a colon (':') and a list of options, which are
separated by comma (',').
In case of simple options like '256M_U_BOOT', these expand to
"#define CONFIG_MK_256M_U_BOOT 1" in config.h . In case of
assignments like 'RAM=8192', these expand to "#define CONFIG_MK_RAM
8192" in config.h .
Example:
FOO:HAS_BAR,BAZ=64
means:
- the name of the board config file is include/configs/FOO.h
- the generated file include/config.h will contain these
lines:
#define CONFIG_HAS_BAR 1
#define CONFIG_BAZ 64

Instead of adding explicit build rules for each and every board to the
top level Makefile (which makes it grow and grow), we now provide a
simple default rule and extend the "mkconfig" script to read board
configurations from a plain text file (table), "boards.cfg".
For simple boards it is now sufficient to add a single line of text to
the "boards.cfg" file, no changes to the top level Makefile are needed
any more.
To make the table better readable, change the notation for unused
fields from "NULL" into "-".

Refuse to setup a platform if the command line ARCH= is not the same
as the one required for the board. This prevents any user with
prehistoric aliases from messing up their builds.

To simplify the top level makefile it useful to be able to parse
the top level makefile target to multiple individual target, then
put them to the config.h, leave the board config file to handle
the different targets.
Note that this method uses the '_'(underline) as the delimiter when
splits the board make target.

Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
