42b7f4212a efi: Add uclass for devices provided by UEFI firmware
UCLASS_EFI_LOADER is used for devices created by applications and
drivers loaded by U-Boots UEFI implementation.

This patch provides a new uclass (UCLASS_EFI_MEDIA) to be used for devices
that provided by a UEFI firmware calling U-Boot as an EFI application.

If the two uclasses can be unified, is left to future redesign.

41575d8e4c dm: treewide: Rename auto_alloc_size members to be shorter
This construct is quite long-winded. In earlier days it made some sense
since auto-allocation was a strange concept. But with driver model now
used pretty universally, we can shorten this to 'auto'. This reduces
verbosity and makes it easier to read.

Coincidentally it also ensures that every declaration is on one line,
thus making dtoc's job easier.

1ce884797c Revert "blk: Invalidate block cache when switching hwpart"
This reverts commit 0ebe112d09.

Most block devices have only one hwpart. Multiple hwparts only found used
by eMMC devices in u-boot. The mmc driver do blk_dselect_hwpart() at the
beginning of mmc_bread() which causes block cache being invalidated too
frequently and makes block cache useless.

So it's not a good idea to put blkcache_invalidate() in the common
functions. It should be called inside mmc_select_hwpart().

0ebe112d09 blk: Invalidate block cache when switching hwpart
Some storage devices have multiple hw partitions and both address from
zero, for example eMMC.
However currently block cache invalidation only applies to block
write/erase.
This can cause a problem that data of current hw partition is cached
before switching to another hw partition. And the following read
operation of the latter hw partition will get wrong data when reading
from the addresses that have been cached previously.

To solve this problem, invalidate block cache after a successful
select_hwpart operation.

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.

05ef48a248 efi_driver: EFI block driver
This patch provides
* a uclass for EFI drivers
* a EFI driver for block devices

For each EFI driver the uclass
* creates a handle
* adds the driver binding protocol

The uclass provides the bind, start, and stop entry points for the driver
binding protocol.

In bind() and stop() it checks if the controller implements the protocol
supported by the EFI driver. In the start() function it calls the bind()
function of the EFI driver. In the stop() function it destroys the child
controllers.

The EFI block driver binds to controllers implementing the block io
protocol.

When the bind function of the EFI block driver is called it creates a
new U-Boot block device. It installs child handles for all partitions and
installs the simple file protocol on these.

The read and write functions of the EFI block driver delegate calls to the
controller that it is bound to.

A usage example is as following:

U-Boot loads the iPXE snp.efi executable. iPXE connects an iSCSI drive and
exposes a handle with the block IO protocol. It calls ConnectController.

Now the EFI block driver installs the partitions with the simple file
protocol.

iPXE uses the simple file protocol to load Grub or the Linux Kernel.

This patch changes the calls to uclass_first/next_device() in blk_first/

e48eeb9ea3 dm: blk: Improve block device claiming
The intention with block devices is that the device number (devnum field
in its descriptor) matches the alias of its parent device. For example,
with:

	aliases {
		mmc0 = "/sdhci@700b0600";
		mmc1 = "/sdhci@700b0400";
	}

we expect that the block devices for mmc0 and mmc1 would have device
numbers of 0 and 1 respectively.

Unfortunately this does not currently always happen. If there is another
MMC device earlier in the driver model data structures its block device
will be created first. It will therefore get device number 0 and mmc0
will therefore miss out. In this case the MMC device will have sequence
number 0 but its block device will not.

To avoid this, allow a device to request a device number and bump any
existing device number that is using it. This all happens during the
binding phase so it is safe to change these numbers around. This allows
device numbers to match the aliases in all circumstances.

Add a test to verify the behaviour.

Mark the device name as allocated so that it will be freed correctly when the
device is unbound.

Due to code ordering the block devices are not numbered sequentially. Fix
this.

9107c973d3 dm: blk: Add a easier way to create a named block device
Add a function that automatically builds the device name given the parent
and a supplied string. Most callers will want to do this, so putting this
functionality in one place makes more sense.

52138fd407 dm: blk: Allow blk_create_device() to allocate the device number
Allow a devnum parameter of -1 to indicate that the device number should be
alocated automatically. The next highest available device number for that
interface type is used.

d508c82ba9 dm: mmc: Add an implementation of the 'devnum' functions
Now that the MMC code accesses devices by number, we can implement this same
interface for driver model, allowing MMC to support using driver model for
block devices.

Add the required functions to the uclass.

e40cf34a29 drivers: block: add block device cache
Add a block device cache to speed up repeated reads of block devices by
various filesystems.

This small amount of cache can dramatically speed up filesystem
operations by skipping repeated reads of common areas of a block
device (typically directory structures).

This has shown to have some benefit on FAT filesystem operations of
loading a kernel and RAM disk, but more dramatic benefits on ext4
filesystems when the kernel and/or RAM disk are spread across
multiple extent header structures as described in commit fc0fc50.

The cache is implemented through a minimal list (block_cache) maintained
in most-recently-used order and count of the current number of entries
(cache_count). It uses a maximum block count setting to prevent copies
of large block reads and an upper bound on the number of cached areas.

The maximum number of entries in the cache defaults to 32 and the maximum
number of blocks per cache entry has a default of 2, which has shown to
produce the best results on testing of ext4 and FAT filesystems.

The 'blkcache' command (enabled through CONFIG_CMD_BLOCK_CACHE) allows
changing these values and can be used to tune for a particular filesystem
layout.
