Rename the sections used to implement linker lists so they begin with
'__u_boot_list' rather than '.u_boot_list'. The double underscore at the
start is still distinct from the single underscore used by the symbol
names.
Having a '.' in the section names conflicts with clang's ASAN
instrumentation which tries to add redzones between the linker list
elements, causing expected accesses to fail. However, clang doesn't try
to add redzones to user sections, which are names with all alphanumeric
and underscore characters.

When switching to kernel.org x86_64 gcc 11.1.0 toolchain, u-boot.rom
built from qemu-x86_defconfig no longer boots anymore. Investigation
shows that U-Boot fails at a very early stage during the boot process,
in fdtdec_prepare_fdt() where fdt_check_header() complains that there
is not a valid device tree found at gd->fdt_blob which points to _end.
Now _end points to an allocated section .note.gnu.property which of
course is wrong.
This issue is however not seen when using the default Ubuntu 20.04 gnu
toolchain (gcc 9.3.0 with binutils 2.34). Further investigation shows
that it is caused by a behavior change of binutils v2.36 which is part
of the kernel.org gcc 11.1.0 toolchain, via the following commit:
939b95c77bf2 ("Linux/x86: Configure gas with --enable-x86-used-note by default")
In fact, there was already a regression bug report [1] for binutils two
months ago, but the binutils folks did not think it is a bug :(
To resolve this, there are several options:
* pass -Wa,-mx86-used-note=no to gas
* pass -R .note.gnu.property to objcopy
* discard the section in the linker script
Linux kernel uses the discard way [2], so let's do the same for U-Boot.

The part of U-Boot that actually ends up in u-boot-nodtb.bin is not built
with any particular alignment. It ends at the start of the BSS section.
The BSS section selects its own alignment, which may larger.
This means that there can be a gap of a few bytes between the image
ending and BSS starting.
Since u-boot.bin is build by joining u-boot-nodtb.bin and u-boot.dtb (with
perhaps some padding for BSS), the expected result is not obtained. U-Boot
uses the end of BSS to find the devicetree, so this means that it cannot
be found.
Add 32-byte alignment of BSS so that the image size is correct and
appending the devicetree will place it at the end of BSS.
Example SPL output without this patch:
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .text 000142a1 fef40000 fef40000 00001000 2**4

2 .rodata 0000599c fef55760 fef55760 00016760 2**5

CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
5 .bss 00000060 fef5baa0 fef5baa0 00000000 2**5
ALLOC
You can see that .bss is aligned to 2**5 (32 bytes). This is because of
the mallinfo struct in dlmalloc.c:
17 .bss.current_mallinfo 00000028 00000000 00000000 000004c0 2**5
ALLOC
In this case the size of u-boot-spl-nodtb.bin is 0x1ba90. This matches up
with the _image_binary_end symbol:
fef5ba90 g .binman_sym_table 00000000 _image_binary_end
But BSS starts 16 bytes later, at 0xfef5baa0, due to the 32-byte
alignment. So we must align _image_binary_end to a 32-byte boundary. This
forces the binary size to be 0x1baa0, i.e. ending at the start of bss, as
expected.
Note that gcc reports __BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT__ of 16 on this build, even
though it generates an object file with a member that requests 32-byte
alignment.
The current_mallinfo struct is 40 bytes in size. Increasing the struct to
68 bytes (i.e. just above a 64-byte boundary) does not cause the alignment
to go above 32 bytes. So it seems that 32 bytes is the maximum alignment
at present.

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.
