The "S: Orphan" in MAINTAINERS means that the maintainer in the
"M:" field is unreachable (i.e. the email address is not working).
(Refer to the definition of "Orphan" adopted in U-Boot
in the log of commit 31f1b654b2,
"boards.cfg: move boards with invalid emails to Orphan")
For patch files adding global changes, scripts/get_maintainer.pl
adds bunch of such invalid email addresses, which results in
tons of annoying bounce emails.
This commit can be reproduced by the following command:
find . -name MAINTAINERS | xargs sed -i -e '
/^M:[[:blank:]]/ {
N
/S:[[:blank:]]Orphan/s/^/#/
}
'

Now the types of CONFIG_SYS_{ARCH, CPU, SOC, VENDOR, BOARD, CONFIG_NAME}
are specified in arch/Kconfig.
We can delete the ones in arch and board Kconfig files.
This commit can be easily reproduced by the following command:
find . -name Kconfig -a ! -path ./arch/Kconfig | xargs sed -i -e '
/config[[:space:]]SYS_\(ARCH\|CPU\|SOC\|\VENDOR\|BOARD\|CONFIG_NAME\)/ {
N
s/\n[[:space:]]*string//
}
'

We have switched to Kconfig and the boards.cfg file is going to
be removed. We have to retrieve the board status and maintainers
information from it.
The MAINTAINERS format as in Linux Kernel would be nice
because we can crib the scripts/get_maintainer.pl script.
After some discussion, we chose to put a MAINTAINERS file under each
board directory, not the top-level one because we want to collect
relevant information for a board into a single place.
TODO:
Modify get_maintainer.pl to scan multiple MAINTAINERS files.

This commit adds:
- arch/${ARCH}/Kconfig
provide a menu to select target boards
- board/${VENDOR}/${BOARD}/Kconfig or board/${BOARD}/Kconfig
set CONFIG macros to the appropriate values for each board
- configs/${TARGET_BOARD}_defconfig
default setting of each board
(This commit was automatically generated by a conversion script
based on boards.cfg)
In Linux Kernel, defconfig files are located under
arch/${ARCH}/configs/ directory.
It works in Linux Kernel since ARCH is always given from the
command line for cross compile.
But in U-Boot, ARCH is not given from the command line.
Which means we cannot know ARCH until the board configuration is done.
That is why all the "*_defconfig" files should be gathered into a
single directory ./configs/.

This patch adds support for the Palm Treo 680 smartphone. A quick overview of
u-boot implementation on the treo 680...
The treo 680 has a Diskonchip G4 nand flash chip. This device has a 2k region
that maps to the system bus at the reset vector in a NOR-like fashion so that it
can be used as the boot device. The phone is shipped with this 2k region
configured as write-protected (can't be modified) and programmed with an initial
program loader (IPL). At power-up, this IPL loads the contents of two flash
blocks to SDRAM and jumps to it. The capacity of the two blocks is not large
enough to hold all of u-boot, so a u-boot SPL is used. To conserve flash space,
these two blocks and the necessary number of subsequent blocks are programmed
with a concatenated spl + u-boot image. That way, the IPL will also load a
portion of u-boot proper, and when the spl runs, it relocates the portion of
u-boot that the IPL has already loaded, and then resumes loading the remaining
part of u-boot before jumping to it.
The default_environment is used (CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE) because I didn't think
that having a writable environment was worth the cost of a flash block, although
adding it would be straightforward. I abuse the CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
option to specify the usbtty for the console (CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV).
Support for the LCD is included, but currently it is only useful for displaying
the u-boot splash screen. But if u-boot is built without the usbtty console, it
does display the auto-boot progress nicely.
