Kory Maincent 95300f203f pytest: add sandbox test for "extension" command
This commit extends the sandbox to implement a dummy
extension_board_scan() function and enables the extension command in
the sandbox configuration. It then adds a test that checks the proper
functionality of the extension command by applying two Device Tree
overlays to the sandbox Device Tree.

Simon Glass 424994c48f sandbox: Create a new sandbox_noinst build
Move sandbox_spl over to use OF_PLATDATA_INST. Create a new board to
test the case when this is not enabled, since we will be keeping that
code around for several months and want to avoid regressions.

Skip the dm_test_of_plat_dev() test since driver info is not available
for OF_PLATDATA_INST.

Simon Glass 401d1c4f5d common: Drop asm/global_data.h from common header
Move this out of the common header and include it only where needed.  In
a number of cases this requires adding "struct udevice;" to avoid adding
another large header or in other cases replacing / adding missing header
files that had been pulled in, very indirectly.   Finally, we have a few
cases where we did not need to include <asm/global_data.h> at all, so
remove that include.

Simon Glass 20e442ab2d dm: Rename U_BOOT_DEVICE() to U_BOOT_DRVINFO()
The current macro is a misnomer since it does not declare a device
directly. Instead, it declares driver_info record which U-Boot uses at
runtime to create a device.

The distinction seems somewhat minor most of the time, but is becomes
quite confusing when we actually want to declare a device, with
of-platdata. We are left trying to distinguish between a device which
isn't actually device, and a device that is (perhaps an 'instance'?)

It seems better to rename this macro to describe what it actually is. The
macros is not widely used, since boards should use devicetree to declare
devices.

Rename it to U_BOOT_DRVINFO(), which indicates clearly that this is
declaring a new driver_info record, not a device.

Masahiro Yamada b75d8dc564 treewide: convert bd_t to struct bd_info by coccinelle
The Linux coding style guide (Documentation/process/coding-style.rst)
clearly says:

  It's a **mistake** to use typedef for structures and pointers.

Besides, using typedef for structures is annoying when you try to make
headers self-contained.

Let's say you have the following function declaration in a header:

  void foo(bd_t *bd);

This is not self-contained since bd_t is not defined.

To tell the compiler what 'bd_t' is, you need to include <asm/u-boot.h>

  #include <asm/u-boot.h>
  void foo(bd_t *bd);

Then, the include direcective pulls in more bloat needlessly.

If you use 'struct bd_info' instead, it is enough to put a forward
declaration as follows:

  struct bd_info;
  void foo(struct bd_info *bd);

Right, typedef'ing bd_t is a mistake.

I used coccinelle to generate this commit.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

  <smpl>
  @@
  typedef bd_t;
  @@
  -bd_t
  +struct bd_info
  </smpl>

Walter Lozano e3e2470fdd drivers: rename drivers to match compatible string
When using OF_PLATDATA, the bind process between devices and drivers
is performed trying to match compatible string with driver names.
However driver names are not strictly defined, and also there are different
names used when declaring a driver with U_BOOT_DRIVER, the name of the
symbol used in the linker list and the used in the struct driver_info.

In order to make things a bit more clear, rename the drivers names. This
will also help for further OF_PLATDATA improvements, such as checking
for valid driver names.

Simon Glass 001d1885f0 sandbox: Improve debugging in initcall_run_list()
At present if one of the initcalls fails on sandbox the address printing
is not help, e.g.:

  initcall sequence 0000557678967c80 failed at call 00005576709dfe1f (err=-96)

This is because U-Boot gets relocated high into memory and the relocation
offset (gd->reloc_off) does not work correctly for sandbox.

Add support for finding the base address of the text region (at least on
Linux) and use that to set the relocation offset. This makes the output
better:

  initcall sequence 0000560775957c80 failed at call 0000000000048134 (err=-96)

Then you use can use grep to see which init call failed, e.g.:

   $ grep 0000000000048134 u-boot.map
   stdio_add_devices

Of course another option is to run it with a debugger such as gdb:

   $ gdb u-boot
   ...
   (gdb) br initcall.h:41
   Breakpoint 1 at 0x4db9d: initcall.h:41. (2 locations)

Note that two locations are reported, since this function is used in both
board_init_f() and board_init_r().

Tom Rini 83d290c56f SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style
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.

As written, this interface is limited to not supporting ICMP since the
API doesn't allow the socket to be opened for all IP traffic and be able
to receive at the same time. UDP is far more useful to test with, so it
was selected over ICMP. Ping won't work, but things like TFTP should

Masahiro Yamada 93d4334f7f Add board MAINTAINERS files
We have switched to Kconfig and the boards.cfg file is going to
be removed. We have to retrieve the board status and maintainers
information from it.

The MAINTAINERS format as in Linux Kernel would be nice
because we can crib the scripts/get_maintainer.pl script.

After some discussion, we chose to put a MAINTAINERS file under each
board directory, not the top-level one because we want to collect
relevant information for a board into a single place.

TODO:
Modify get_maintainer.pl to scan multiple MAINTAINERS files.
