This adds support for "nvmem cells" as seen in Linux. The nvmem device
class in Linux is used for various assorted ROMs and EEPROMs. In this
sense, it is similar to UCLASS_MISC, but also includes
UCLASS_I2C_EEPROM, UCLASS_RTC, and UCLASS_MTD. New drivers corresponding
to a Linux-style nvmem device should be implemented as one of the
previously-mentioned uclasses. The nvmem API acts as a compatibility
layer to adapt the (slightly different) APIs of these uclasses. It also
handles the lookup of nvmem cells.
While nvmem devices can be accessed directly, they are most often used
by reading/writing contiguous values called "cells". Cells typically
hold information like calibration, versions, or configuration (such as
mac addresses).
nvmem devices can specify "cells" in their device tree:
qfprom: eeprom@700000 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
reg = <0x00700000 0x100000>;
/* ... */
tsens_calibration: calib@404 {
reg = <0x404 0x10>;
};
};
which can then be referenced like:
tsens {
/* ... */
nvmem-cells = <&tsens_calibration>;
nvmem-cell-names = "calibration";
};
The tsens driver could then read the calibration value like:
struct nvmem_cell cal_cell;
u8 cal[16];
nvmem_cell_get_by_name(dev, "calibration", &cal_cell);
nvmem_cell_read(&cal_cell, cal, sizeof(cal));
Because nvmem devices are not all of the same uclass, supported uclasses
must register a nvmem_interface struct. This allows CONFIG_NVMEM to be
enabled without depending on specific uclasses. At the moment,
nvmem_interface is very bare-bones, and assumes that no initialization
is necessary. However, this could be amended in the future.
Although I2C_EEPROM and MISC are quite similar (and could likely be
unified), they present different read/write function signatures. To
abstract over this, NVMEM uses the same read/write signature as Linux.
In particular, short read/writes are not allowed, which is allowed by
MISC.
The functionality implemented by nvmem cells is very similar to that
provided by i2c_eeprom_partition. "fixed-partition"s for eeproms does
not seem to have made its way into Linux or into any device tree other
than sandbox. It is possible that with the introduction of this API it
would be possible to remove it.

This converts the existing driver API docs (clk-uclass.h) to kernel doc
format and adds them to the HTML documentation. Because the kernel doc
sphinx converter does not handle functions in structs very well, the
individual methods are documented separately. This is primarily inspired by
the phylink documentation [1], which uses this trick extensively.

The linker script uses alphabetic sorting to group the different linker
lists together. Each group has its own struct and potentially its own
alignment. But when the linker packs the structs together it cannot ensure
that a linker list starts on the expected alignment boundary.
For example, if the first list has a struct size of 8 and we place 3 of
them in the image, that means that the next struct will start at offset
0x18 from the start of the linker_list section. If the next struct has
a size of 16 then it will start at an 8-byte aligned offset, but not a
16-byte aligned offset.
With sandbox on x86_64, a reference to a linker list item using
ll_entry_get() can force alignment of that particular linker_list item,
if it is in the same file as the linker_list item is declared.
Consider this example, where struct driver is 0x80 bytes:
ll_entry_declare(struct driver, fred, driver)
...
void *p = ll_entry_get(struct driver, fred, driver)
If these two lines of code are in the same file, then the entry is forced
to be aligned at the 'struct driver' alignment, which is 16 bytes. If the
second line of code is in a different file, then no action is taken, since
the compiler cannot update the alignment of the linker_list item.
In the first case, an 8-byte 'fill' region is added:
.u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testbus_drv
0x0000000000270018 0x80 test/built-in.o
0x0000000000270018 _u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testbus_drv
.u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testfdt1_drv
0x0000000000270098 0x80 test/built-in.o
0x0000000000270098 _u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testfdt1_drv
*fill* 0x0000000000270118 0x8
.u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testfdt_drv
0x0000000000270120 0x80 test/built-in.o
0x0000000000270120 _u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testfdt_drv
.u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testprobe_drv
0x00000000002701a0 0x80 test/built-in.o
0x00000000002701a0 _u_boot_list_2_driver_2_testprobe_drv
With this, the linker_list no-longer works since items after testfdt1_drv
are not at the expected address.
Ideally we would have a way to tell gcc not to align structs in this way.
It is not clear how we could do this, and in any case it would require us
to adjust every struct used by the linker_list feature.
One possible fix is to force each separate linker_list to start on the
largest possible boundary that can be required by the compiler. However
that does not seem to work on x86_64, which uses 16-byte alignment in this
case but needs 32-byte alignment.
So add a Kconfig option to handle this. Set the default value to 4 so
as to avoid changing platforms that don't need it.
Update the ll_entry_start() accordingly.

Some commands can get very unweildy if they have too many positional
arguments. Adding options makes them easier to read, remember, and
understand.
This implementation of getopt has been taken from barebox, which has had
option support for quite a while. I have made a few modifications to their
version, such as the removal of opterr in favor of a separate getopt_silent
function. In addition, I have moved all global variables into struct
getopt_context.
The getopt from barebox also re-orders the arguments passed to it so that
non-options are placed last. This allows users to specify options anywhere.
For example, `ls -l foo/ -R` would be re-ordered to `ls -l -R foo/` as
getopt parsed the options. However, this feature conflicts with the const
argv in cmd_tbl->cmd. This was originally added in 54841ab50c ("Make sure
that argv[] argument pointers are not modified."). The reason stated in
that commit is that hush requires argv to stay unmodified. Has this
situation changed? Barebox also uses hush, and does not have this problem.
Perhaps we could use their fix?
I have assigned maintenance of getopt to Simon Glass, as it is currently
only used by the log command. I would also be fine maintaining it.
