This is quite a useful thing to use when building since it avoids small
size changes between commits. Add a -r flag for it.
Also undefine CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO since this appends the git hash

This change allows to load boot image from the first SATA/SCSI device
partition and burn it to board boot location (e.g. SPI-NOR). This is
particularly when storage device is not handled by U-Boot as USB mass
storage (which is already supported by bubt) but as SATA/SCSI device.

U-Boot has some particular challenges with device tree and devices:
- U-Boot has multiple build phases, such as a Secondary Program Loader
(SPL) phase which typically runs in a pre-SDRAM environment where code
and data space are limited. In particular, there may not be enough
space for the full device tree blob. U-Boot uses various automated
techniques to reduce the size from perhaps 40KB to 3KB. It is not
always possible to handle these tags entirely at build time, since
U-Boot proper must have the full device tree, even though we do not
want it to process all nodes until after relocation.
- Some U-Boot phases needs to run before the clocks are properly set up,
where the CPU may be running very slowly. Therefore it is important to
bind only those devices which are actually needed in that phase
- U-Boot uses lazy initialisation for its devices, with 'bind' and
'probe' being separate steps. Even if a device is bound, it is not
actually probed until it is used. This is necessary to keep the boot
time reasonable, e.g. to under a second
The phases of U-Boot in order are: TPL, VPL, SPL, U-Boot (first
pre-relocation, then post-relocation). ALl but the last two are optional.
For the above reasons, U-Boot only includes the full device tree in the
final 'U-Boot proper' build. Even then, before relocation U-Boot only
processes nodes which are marked as being needed.
For this to work, U-Boot's driver model[1] provides a way to mark device
tree nodes as applicable for a particular phase. This works by adding a
tag to the node, e.g.:
cru: clock-controller@ff760000 {
bootph-all;
compatible = "rockchip,rk3399-cru";
reg = <0x0 0xff760000 0x0 0x1000>;
rockchip,grf = <&grf>;
#clock-cells = <1>;
#reset-cells = <1>;
...
};
Here the "bootph-all" tag indicates that the node must be present in all
phases, since the clock driver is required.
There has been discussion over the years about whether this could be done
in a property instead, e.g.
options {
bootph-all = <&cru> <&gpio_a> ...;
...
};
Some problems with this:
- we need to be able to merge several such tags from different .dtsi files
since many boards have their own specific requirements
- it is hard to find and cross-reference the affected nodes
- it is more error-prone
- it requires significant tool rework in U-Boot, including fdtgrep and
the build system
- is harder (slower, more code) to process since it involves scanning
another node/property to find out what to do with a particular node
- we don't want to add phandle arguments to the above since we are
referring, e.g., to the clock device as a whole, not a paricular clock
- the of-platdata feature[2], which converts device tree to C for even
more constrained environments, would need to become aware of the
/options node
There is also the question about whether this needs to be U-Boot-specific,
or whether the tags could be generic. From what I can tell, U-Boot is the
only bootloader which seriously attempts to use a runtime device tree in
all cases. For this version, an attempt is made to name the phases in a
generic manner.
It should also be noted that the approach provided here has stood the test
of time, used in U-Boot for 8 years so far.
So add the schema for this. This will allow a major class of schema
exceptions to be dropped from the U-Boot source tree.
This has been applied upstream[3]

Add a command to load SEAMA (Seattle Image), a NAND flash
on-flash storage format.
This type of flash image is found in some D-Link routers such
as DIR-645, DIR-842, DIR-859, DIR-860L, DIR-885L, DIR890L and
DCH-M225, as well as in WD and NEC routers on the ath79
(MIPS), Broadcom BCM53xx, and RAMIPS platforms.
This U-Boot command will read and decode a SEAMA image from
raw NAND flash on any platform. As it is always using big endian
format for the data decoding is always necessary on platforms
such as ARM.
The command is needed to read a SEAMA-encoded boot image on the
D-Link DIR-890L router for boot from NAND flash in an upcoming
port of U-Boot to the Broadcom Northstar (BCM4709, BCM53xx)
architecture.
A basic test and documentation is added as well. The test must
be run on a target with NAND flash support and at least one
resident SEAMA image in flash.

We need to support a basic set of filesystems for booting to work in most
cases. Add these in via a new option, letting the board disable them
individually (for space reasons) if desired.
This enables the filesystem commands as well as the actual functionality,
even though bootstd is quite happy to use ext4 without the ext4 command.
Further work would be needed to disintangle this and reduce code size.
Add several other options as well, providing sensible defaults.
We cannot enable this by default, since it expands the size of many
boards quite a lot.

Extend support for signing in auto-generated (-f auto) FIT. Previously,
it was possible to get signed 'images' subnodes in the FIT using
options -g and -o together with -f auto. This patch allows signing
'configurations' subnodes instead of 'images' ones (which are hashed),
using option -f auto-conf instead of -f auto. Adding also -K <dtb> and
-r options, will add public key to <dtb> file with required = "conf"
property.
Summary:
-f auto => FIT with crc32 images
-f auto -g ... -o ... => FIT with signed images
-f auto-conf -g ... -o ... => FIT with sha1 images and signed confs
Example: FIT with kernel, two device tree files, and signed
configurations; public key (needed to verify signatures) is
added to u-boot.dtb with required = "conf" property.
mkimage -f auto-conf -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 43e00000 \
-e 0 -d vmlinuz -b /path/to/first.dtb -b /path/to/second.dtb \
-k /folder/with/key-files -g keyname -o sha256,rsa4096 \
-K u-boot.dtb -r kernel.itb
Example: Add public key with required = "conf" property to u-boot.dtb
without needing to sign anything. This will also create a useless FIT
named unused.itb.
mkimage -f auto-conf -d /dev/null -k /folder/with/key-files \
-g keyname -o sha256,rsa4096 -K u-boot.dtb -r unused.itb
