2018-05-07SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel styleTom Rini
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. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com>

2013-11-21patman: add Commit-notes tag and sectionAlbert ARIBAUD
Sometimes a commit should have notes enclosed with it rather than withing the cover letter -- possibly even because there is no cover letter. Add a 'Commit-notes' tag, similar to the 'Series-notes' one; lines between this tag and the next END line are inserted in the patch right after the '---' commit delimiter.

2013-04-04patman: Fix the comment in CheckTags to mention multiple tagsSimon Glass
This comment is less than helpful. Since multiple tags are supported, add an example of how multiple tags work. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>
2013-04-04patman: Don't allow spaces in tagsSimon Glass
At present something like: Revert "arm: Add cache operations" will try to use Revert "arm as a tag. Clearly this is wrong, so fix it. If the revert is intended to be tagged, then the tag can come before the revert, perhaps. Alternatively the 'Cc' tag can be used in the commit messages.

2012-04-21Add 'patman' patch generation, checking and submission scriptSimon Glass
What is this? ============= This tool is a Python script which: - Creates patch directly from your branch - Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags - Inserts a cover letter with change lists - Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks - Optionally emails them out to selected people It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far, since it uses the checkpatch.pl script. It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits. This means that you can work on a number of different branches at once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters each time. So for example if you put: in one of your commits, the series will be sent there. See the README file for full details. END Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
