Fastboot currently supports MMC and NAND flash devices. Similarly,
extend the support to SPI flash memories.
Note that in this initial implementation, partitions on the device are
not supported yet, but raw partitions can be set in U-Boot environment.
To define a raw partition descriptor, add an environment variable
similar to the MMC case:
```
fastboot_raw_partition_<raw partition name>=<offset> <size>
```
for example:
```
fastboot_raw_partition_boot=0x0 0x1000000
```

Our last sync with the kernel was 5.1. Even that was a partial one
as some patches from 4.x kernels were already missing making the
transition to a modern kbuild infeasible.
We are so out of sync now, that tracking the patches and backporting
them one by one makes little sense and it's going to take ages.
This is an attempt to sync up Makefile[.lib/.kbuild].
Unfortunately due to sheer amount of patches this is not easy to review,
but that's what we decided during a community call.
One of the biggest changes is get rid of partial linking entirely and
build .a archives isntead of .o.
We diaviate from the kernel on that. Instead of calling a custom script
to create the archive symbol table, we call ar with rcTP (isntead of
rcSTP) since we want a resulting archive that's sauble with the linker.
The only affected platforms are PPC ones. Unfortunately I don't have any
of them around to test, but the objdump of the resulting files --
arch/powerpc/lib/built-in.[oa] looks identical.

This option is very useful for A/B boot setups with read-only

Sughosh Ganu <sughosh.ganu@linaro.org> says:
The LMB module has a bunch for API's which are used for allocating
memory. There are a couple of API's for requesting memory, and two
more for reserving regions of memory. Replace these different API's
with a single one, lmb_alloc_mem(). The type of allocation to be made
is specified through one of the parameters to the function.
Additionally, the two API's for reserving regions of memory,
lmb_reserve() and lmb_alloc_addr() are the same with one
difference. One can reserve any memory region with lmb_reserve(),
while lmb_alloc_addr() actually checks that the memory region being
requested is part of the LMB memory map. Reserving memory that is not
part of the LMB memory map is pretty futile -- the allocation
functions do not allocate memory which has not been added to the LMB
memory map.
This series also removes the functionality allowing for reserving
memory regions outside the LMB memory map. Any request for reserving a
region of memory outside the LMB memory map now returns an -EINVAL
error.
Certain places in the common code using the LMB API's were not
checking the return value of the functions. Checks have been added for
them. There are some calls being made from the architecture/platform
specific code which too do not check the return value. Those have been
kept the same, as I do not have the platform with me to check if it
causes any issues on those platforms.
In addition, there is a patch which refactors code in
lmb_overlaps_region() and lmb_can_reserve_region() so that both
functionalities can be put in a single function, lmb_overlap_checks().
Finally, a new patch has been added which checks the return value of
the lmb allocation function before copying the device-tree to the
allocated address.

This PR introduces 3 new platforms, two from the new Dragonwing IQx
series (QCS615 and QCS8300) as well as the IPQ5424.
Additionally:
* Support for booting downstream Android boot images on some phones is
added
* Capsule update support is expanded to be more generic, determining
which partition U-Boot was flashed to automatically and supporting
many more boards.
* Minor capsule update bugs are fixed
* A watchdog driver is added and gets timeout support
* Autoboot now requires pressing "space" specifically to stop booting as
a workaround for some boards getting rogue key presses which would
cause autoboot to fail
* Documentation is added for the Dragonwing boards
* The RB1/2 now use USB gadget mode rather than host
* A bug is fixed where GPIO reads could return incorrect values
The note about U-Boot not being able to verify server certificates is
false now that WGET_CACERT and WGET_BUILTIN_CACERT have been added.

[trini: Change default order so that X86 && EFI_APP works correctly]
Martin Schwan <m.schwan@phytec.de> says:
This series implements a new bootmeth for RAUC A/B systems. RAUC (Robust
Auto Update Controller) is a lightweight update client, providing "Safe
and Secure OTA Updates for Embedded Linux". See the following links for
more information about RAUC:
https://rauc.io/https://rauc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
PHYTEC uses RAUC in its Yocto based distribution "Ampliphy" as the
default way of updating embedded devices based on PHYTEC hardware. So
far, the logic selecting the correct partitions and files to boot was
being implemented in the U-Boot environment. While this is a
straightforward way to do it, adding and supporting new platforms became
somewhat tedious and is platform-specific. The introduction of U-Boot's
"Standard Boot" provided a convincing alternative, promising a simpler
and more portable way of booting, even for RAUC systems. This led me to
implement a new bootmeth supporting RAUC A/B systems. Note, that this
new bootmeth is not proprietary to PHYTEC products and is designed to
work on other hardware with a RAUC A/B system, too.
The bootmeth currently only supports symmetric A/B partitioning layouts.
E.g. A/rescue is not (yet) supported. The partition indexes and default
slot tries can be specified via configuration options.
For now, the bootmeth_rauc uses a similar approach for loading the
Kernel and device tree as the bootmeth_script, in that it requires a FIT
containing a U-Boot script loading the desired distro. It could be
possible to support booting without a script and load the Kernel and DT
directly with this bootmeth, but I found the script method to be very
flexible for now, in letting the distro decide what to load.
The bootmeth_rauc was tested on a phyBOARD-Pollux i.MX8M Plus [1] with
BSP-Yocto-Ampliphy-i.MX8MP-PD24.1.2 [2].
Supported boot devices are currently only MMC devices, but it should be
possible to add SPI flashes in the future.
To test this patch stack with PHYTEC's phyBOARD-Pollux i.MX8M Plus
board, you need to adjust the boot files to include the boot.scr.uimg
containing the distro's boot script and set "optargs" to "${raucargs}"
in it. Also disable any legacyboot in the U-Boot environment and simply
boot with Standard Boot:
bootmeth order rauc
bootflow scan -lb
