This adds support for booting entirely from JTAG while using a
hard-coded RCW. With these steps, it is not necessary to program a
"good" RCW using CodeWarrior. The method here can be performed with any
JTAG adapter supported by OpenOCD, including the on-board CMSIS-DAP
(albeit very slowly).
These steps require LS1046A support in OpenOCD, which was added in [1].

This has different semantics in different places. Go with the bootm method
and put it in a common function so that the behaviour is consistent in
U-Boot. Update the docs.
To be clear, this changes the way that 'bootelf' and standalone boot
work. Before, if autostart was set to "fred" or "YES", for example, they
would consider that a "yes". This may change behaviour for some boards,
but the only in-tree boards which mention autostart use "no" to disable
it, which will still work.

At present U-Boot environment variables, and thus scripts, are defined
by CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS. It is painful to add large amounts of text
to this file and dealing with quoting and newlines is harder than it
should be. It would be better if we could just type the script into a
text file and have it included by U-Boot.
Add a feature that brings in a .env file associated with the board
config, if present. To use it, create a file in a board/<vendor>
directory, typically called <board>.env and controlled by the
CONFIG_ENV_SOURCE_FILE option.
The environment variables should be of the form "var=value". Values can
extend to multiple lines. See the README under 'Environment Variables:'
for more information and an example.
In many cases environment variables need access to the U-Boot CONFIG
variables to select different options. Enable this so that the environment
scripts can be as useful as the ones currently in the board config files.
This uses the C preprocessor, means that comments can be included in the
environment using /* ... */
Also support += to allow variables to be appended to. This is needed when
using the preprocessor.

All platforms define CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR, but only some define
CONFIG_LOADADDR. Very very rarely are these not the same address, and
qemu-ppce500 is one such case. However, based on reading the history of
the code, this mismatched value was simply a copy-paste from other
PowerPC platforms where it is this unused currently. Switch the code to
use CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR and update the documentation.

U-Boot mostly uses hex for value input, largely because addresses are much
easier to understand in hex.
But in some cases a decimal value is requested, such as where the value is
small or hex does not make sense in the context. In these cases it is
sometimes useful to be able to provide a hex value in any case, if only to
resolve any ambiguity.
Add this functionality, for increased flexibility.

Fixes: 2f84e9cf06 ("cmd: add support for a new "extension" command")
Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.glpk@gmx.de>
This patch adds a new "extension" command, which aims at detecting
extension boards connected to the hardware platform, and apply the
Device Tree overlays that describe the hardware present on those
extension boards.
In order to enable this mechanism, board-specific code must implement
the extension_board_scan() function that fills in a linked list of
"struct extension", each describing one extension board. In addition,
the board-specific code must select the SUPPORT_EXTENSION_SCAN Kconfig
boolean.
Based on this:
- "extension scan" makes the generic code call the board-specific
extension_board_scan() function to retrieve the list of detected
extension boards.
- "extension list" allows to list the detected extension boards.
- "extension apply <number>|all" allows to apply the Device Tree
overlay(s) corresponding to one, or all, extension boards
The latter requires two environment variables to exist and set one variable
to run:
- extension_overlay_addr: the RAM address where to load the Device
Tree overlays
- extension_overlay_cmd: the U-Boot command to load one overlay.
Indeed, the location and mechanism to load DT overlays is very setup
specific.
- extension_overlay_name: set by the command: the name of the DT which
will be load during the execution.
When calling the command described in the extension_overlay_cmd
variable, the variable extension_overlay_name will be defined. So a
typical extension_overlay_cmd will look like this:
extension_overlay_cmd=load mmc 0:1 $extension_overlay_addr /boot/$extension_overlay_name
Here is an example on how to use it:
=> run loadfdt
=> fdt addr $fdtaddr
=> setenv extension_overlay_addr 0x1000
=> setenv extension_overlay_cmd 'load mmc 0:1 ${extension_overlay_addr} /boot/${extension_overlay_name}'
=> extension scan
Found 1 extension board(s).
=> extension apply 0
