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.

82f766d1d2 Allow boards to initialize the DT at runtime.
In some boards like the Raspberry Pi the initial bootloader will pass
a DT to the kernel. When using U-Boot as such kernel, the board code in
U-Boot should be able to provide U-Boot with this, already assembled
device tree blob.

This patch introduces a new config option CONFIG_OF_BOARD to use instead
of CONFIG_OF_EMBED or CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE which will initialize the DT
from a board-specific funtion instead of bundling one with U-Boot or as
a separated file. This allows boards like the Raspberry Pi to reuse the
device tree passed from the bootcode.bin and start.elf firmware
files, including the run-time selected device tree overlays.

5692ccfaca x86: video: Allow keyboard presence to be controlled by device tree
At present a VGA console assumes a keyboard unless a CONFIG option is set.
This difference can be dealt with by a device tree option, allowing boards
that are otherwise the same to use the same configuration.

d18926af30 fdt: Rename the DEV_TREE_BIN Makefile flag to to EXT_DTB
This seems like a better name. This is a patch-up to the earlier commit
63b4b5b, and also removes a redundant Makefile change.

63b4b5bae5 fdt: Add DEV_TREE_BIN option to specify a device tree binary file
In some cases, an externally-built device tree binary is required to be
attached to U-Boot. An example is when using image signing, since in that
case the .dtb file must include the public keys.

Add a DEV_TREE_BIN option to the Makefile, and update the documentation.

Usage is something like:

	make DEV_TREE_BIN=boot/am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb

5f65826b1b FDT: Fix DTC repository references
The Device Tree Compiler (DTC) used to have its master
repository located on jdl.com.  While it is still there,
its official, new, shiny location is on kernel.org here:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git

Update a few references to point there instead.

f828bf25fe sandbox: Add CONFIG_OF_HOSTFILE to read FDT from host file
With sandbox it is tricky to add an FDT to the image at build time (or
later) since we build an ELF file, not a plain binary, and the address
space of the whole U-Boot is not accessible in the emulated memory map
of sandbox.

Sandbox can read files directly from the host, though, so add an option
to read an FDT from a host file on start-up.

bbb0b128c3 fdt: Add support for embedded device tree (CONFIG_OF_EMBED)
This new option allows U-Boot to embed a binary device tree into its image
to allow run-time control of peripherals. This device tree is for U-Boot's
own use and is not necessarily the same one as is passed to the kernel.

The device tree compiler output should be placed in the $(obj)
rooted tree. Since $(OBJCOPY) insists on adding the path to the
generated symbol names, to ensure consistency it should be
invoked from the directory where the .dtb file is located and
given the input file name without the path.

This commit contains my entry for the ugliest Makefile / shell interaction
competition.
