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.

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>

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.

Simon Glass e895a4b06f fdt: Allow ft_board_setup() to report failure
This function can fail if the device tree runs out of space. Rather than
silently booting with an incomplete device tree, allow the failure to be
detected.

Unfortunately this involves changing a lot of places in the code. I have
not changed behvaiour to return an error where one is not currently
returned, to avoid unexpected breakage.

Eventually it would be nice to allow boards to register functions to be
called to update the device tree. This would avoid all the many functions
to do this. However it's not clear yet if this should be done using driver
model or with a linker list. This work is left for later.

Masahiro Yamada dd84058d24 kconfig: add board Kconfig and defconfig files
This commit adds:
 - arch/${ARCH}/Kconfig
    provide a menu to select target boards
 - board/${VENDOR}/${BOARD}/Kconfig or board/${BOARD}/Kconfig
    set CONFIG macros to the appropriate values for each board
 - configs/${TARGET_BOARD}_defconfig
    default setting of each board

(This commit was automatically generated by a conversion script
based on boards.cfg)

In Linux Kernel, defconfig files are located under
arch/${ARCH}/configs/ directory.
It works in Linux Kernel since ARCH is always given from the
command line for cross compile.

But in U-Boot, ARCH is not given from the command line.
Which means we cannot know ARCH until the board configuration is done.
That is why all the "*_defconfig" files should be gathered into a
single directory ./configs/.

Becky Bruce 38dba0c2ff mpc85xx boards: initdram() cleanup/bugfix
Correct initdram to use phys_size_t to represent the size of
dram; instead of changing this all over the place, and correcting
all the other random errors I've noticed, create a
common initdram that is used by all non-corenet 85xx parts.  Most
of the initdram() functions were identical, with 2 common differences:

1) DDR tlbs for the fixed_sdram case were set up in initdram() on
some boards, and were part of the tlb_table on others.  I have
changed them all over to the initdram() method - we shouldn't
be accessing dram before this point so they don't need to be
done sooner, and this seems cleaner.

2) Parts that require the DDR11 erratum workaround had different
implementations - I have adopted the version from the Freescale
errata document.  It also looks like some of the versions were
buggy, and, depending on timing, could have resulted in the
DDR controller being disabled.  This seems bad.

The xpedite boards had a common/fsl_8xxx_ddr.c; with this
change only the 517 board uses this so I have moved the ddr code
into that board's directory in xpedite517x.c

Kumar Gala 5d27e02c04 powerpc/8xxx: Replace is_fsl_pci_cfg with is_serdes_configured
Now that we have serdes support for all 85xx/86xx/Pxxx chips we can
replace the is_fsl_pci_cfg() code with the is_serdes_configured().

Sebastien Carlier 6d8962e814 Switch from archive libraries to partial linking
Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils.  As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".

This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.

The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o".  This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.

This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols.  Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.
