In the section about Device Trees add a paragraph at the end that
clarifies how we decide of a tree is valid or not. We say that all
bindings must either be in the specification (link provided) or in our
device-tree-bindings directory. We say that most of these come from the
Linux Kernel and as such some design decisions are made for us already,
but that in most cases we wish to retain compatibility.

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.

Rather than naming the phandle struct according to the number of cells it
uses (e.g. struct phandle_2_cell) name it according to the number of
arguments it has (e.g. struct phandle_1_arg). This is a more intuitive

Certain boards come in different variations by way of utilizing daughter
boards, for example. These boards might contain additional chips, which
are added to the main board's busses, e.g. I2C.
The device tree support for such boards would either, quite naturally,
employ the overlay mechanism to add such chips to the tree, or would use
one large default device tree, and delete the devices that are actually
not present.
Regardless of approach, even on the U-Boot level, a modification of the
device tree is a prerequisite to have such modular families of boards
supported properly.
Therefore, we add an option to make the U-Boot device tree (the actual
copy later used by the driver model) writeable, and add a callback
method that allows boards to modify the device tree at an early stage,
at which, hopefully, also the application of device tree overlays will
be possible.

Right now the u-boot,dm-pre-reloc flag will make each marked node
always appear in both spl and tpl. But systems needing an additional
tpl might have special constraints for each, like the spl needing to
be very tiny.
So introduce two additional flags to mark nodes for only spl or tpl
environments and introduce a function dm_fdt_pre_reloc to automate
the necessary checks in code instances checking for pre-relocation
flags.
The behaviour of the original flag stays untouched and still marks
a node for both spl and tpl.

Many System on Chip(SoC) solutions are complex with multiple processors
on the same die dedicated to either general purpose of specialized
functions. Many examples do exist in today's SoCs from various vendors.
Typical examples are micro controllers such as an ARM M3/M0 doing a
offload of specific function such as event integration or power
management or controlling camera etc.
Traditionally, the responsibility of loading up such a processor with a
firmware and communication has been with a High Level Operating
System(HLOS) such as Linux. However, there exists classes of products
where Linux would need to expect services from such a processor or the
delay of Linux and operating system being able to load up such a
firmware is unacceptable.
To address these needs, we need some minimal capability to load such a
system and ensure it is started prior to an Operating System(Linux or
any other) is started up.
NOTE: This is NOT meant to be a solve-all solution, instead, it tries to
address certain class of SoCs and products that need such a solution.
A very simple model is introduced here as part of the initial support
that supports microcontrollers with internal memory (no MMU, no
execution from external memory, or specific image format needs). This
basic framework can then (hopefully) be extensible to other complex SoC
processor support as need be.

At present we try to use the 'reg' property and device tree aliases to give
devices a sequence number. The 'reg' property is often actually a memory
address, so the sequence numbers thus-obtained are not useful. It would be
better if the devices were just sequentially numbered in that case. In fact
neither I2C nor SPI use this feature, so drop it.
Some devices need us to look up an alias to number them within the uclass.
Add a flag to control this, so it is not done unless it is needed.
Adjust the tests to test this new behaviour.
