In some cases it is necessary to pass parameters to Linux so that it will
boot correctly. For example, the rootdev parameter is often used to
specify the root device. However the root device may change depending on
whence U-Boot loads the kernel. At present it is necessary to build up
the command line by adding device strings to it one by one.
It is often more convenient to provide a template for bootargs, with
U-Boot doing the substitution from other environment variables.
Add a way to substitute strings in the bootargs variable. This allows
things like "rootdev=${rootdev}" to be used in bootargs, with the
${rootdev} substitution providing the UUID of the root device.
For example, to substitute the GUID of the kernel partition:
setenv bootargs "console=/dev/ttyS0 rootdev=${uuid}/PARTNROFF=1
kern_guid=${uuid}"
part uuid mmc 2:2 uuid
bootm
This is particularly useful when the command line from another place. For
example, Chrome OS stores the command line next to the kernel itself. It
depends on the kernel version being used as well as the hardware features,
so it is extremely difficult to devise a U-Boot script that works on all
boards and kernel versions. With this feature, the command line can be
read from disk and used directly, with a few substitutions set up.

At present we only support updating the 'bootargs' environment
variable. Add another function to update a buffer instead. This will
allow zimage to use this feature.
Also add a lot more tests to cover various cases.

At present this function fails silently on error. Update it to produce
an error code. Report this error to the user and abort the boot, since it
likely will prevent a successful start.
No tests are added at this stage, since additional refactoring is taking
place in subsequent patches.

We should not use typedefs in U-Boot. They cannot be used as forward
declarations which means that header files must include the full header to
access them.
Drop the typedef and rename the struct to remove the _s suffix which is
now not useful.
This requires quite a few header-file additions.

Upcoming patches want to add decompression to use cases that are no
longer directly related to booting. It makes sense to retain a single
decompression routine, but it should no longer be in bootm.c (which is
not compiled for all configurations). This patch moves
bootm_decomp_image() to image.c and renames it to image_decomp() in
preparation of those upcoming patches.

Due to some mistakes in the source code, it was not possible to really
turn FIT support off. This commit fixes the problem by means of the
following changes:
- Enclose "bootm_host_load_image" and "bootm_host_load_images" between
checks for CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE, in common/bootm.c.
- Enclose the declaration of "bootm_host_load_images" between checks for
CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE, in common/bootm.h.
- Condition the compilation and linking of fit_common.o fit_image.o
image-host.o common/image-fit.o to CONFIG_FIT=y, in tools/Makefile.

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.

bootm_find_ramdisk_fdt() renamed to bootm_find_images() for readability.
The function bootm_find_ramdisk_fdt() appears to be a simple wrapper for
bootm_find_ramdisk(), bootm_find_fdt(), and now bootm_find_loadables().
I didn't see any other callers entering a bootm_find<thing>, so removing
the wrapper, and condensing these together hopefully makes the code a
little simpler.

The default format for arm64 Linux kernels is the "Image" format,
described in Documentation/arm64/booting.txt. This, along with an
optional gzip compression on top is all that is generated by default.
The Image format has a magic number within the header for verification,
a text_offset where the Image must be run from, an image_size that
includes the BSS and reserved fields.
This does not support automatic detection of a gzip compressed image.

This file has code in three different categories:
- Command processing
- OS-specific boot code
- Locating images and setting up to boot
Only the first category really belongs in a file called cmd_bootm.c.
Leave the command processing code where it is. Split out the OS-specific
boot code into bootm_os.c. Split out the other code into bootm.c
Header files and extern declarations are tidied but otherwise no code
changes are made, to make it easier to review.
