Some bootflows (such as EFI and ChromiumOS) delay reading the kernel until
it is needed to boot. This saves time when scanning and avoids needing to
allocate memory for something that may never be used.
To permit reading of these files, add a new 'bootflow read' command.

Provide an option to dump this information if available.
Move the funciion prototype to the common x86 header. Allow the command

Some Linux parameters can be set automatically by U-Boot, if it knows the
device being used. For example, since U-Boot knows the serial console
being used, it can add parameters for earlycon and console.
Add support for this.
Note that this is an experimental feature and we will see how useful it
turns out to be. It is very handy for ChromeOS, since otherwise it is very
difficult to manually determine the UART address or port number,
particularly in a script.
Provide an example of how this is used with ChromeOS.

Add a bootflow command to update the command line more easily. This allows

The Linux command line consists of a number of words with optional values.
At present U-Boot allows this to be changed using the bootargs environment
variable.
But this is quite painful, since the command line can be very long.
Add a function which can adjust a single field in the command line, so
that it is easier to make changes before booting.

On x86 boards Linux uses a block of binary data to provide information
about the command line, memory map, etc. Provide a way to store this in
the bootflow so it can be passed on to the OS.
No attempt is made to generalise the code, since other archs don't need
this information. The field is present always, though, to avoid needing
accessors or #ifdefs when building code on other archs.

For EFI, the distro boot scripts search in three different directories
for the .dtb file. The SOC-based filename fallback is supported only for
32-bit ARM.
Adjust the code to mirror this behaviour.
Also some boards can use a prior-stage FDT if one is not found in the
normal way. Support this and show a message in that case.

We want to support scanning a single label, like 'mmc' or 'usb0'. Add
this feature by plumbing the label through to the iterator, setting a
flag to indicate that only siblings of the initial device should be used.
This means that scanning a bootdev by its name is not supported anymore.
That feature doesn't seem very useful in practice, so it is no great loss.
Add a test for bootdev_find_by_any() while we are here.

At present we set up the bootdev order at the start, then scan the
bootdevs one by one.
However this approach cannot be used with hunters, since the bootdevs may
not exist until the hunter is used. Nor can we just run all the hunters at
the start, since that violate's U-Boot's 'lazy init' requirement. It also
increases boot time.
So we need to adjust the algorithm to scan by labels instead. As a first
step, drop the dev_order[] array in favour of a list of labels. Update the
name of bootdev_setup_iter_order() to better reflect what it does.
Update some related comments and log messages. Also disable a few tests
until a later commit where we can use them.

These are associated with the ethernet boot device but do not match its
uclass name, so handle them as special cases.
Provide a way to pass flags through with the bootdev so that we know
how to process it. The flags are checked by the bootmeths, to ensure that
only the selected bootmeth is used.
While these both use the network device, they work quite differently. It
is common to run only one of these, or to run PXE before DHCP. Provide
bootflow flags to control which methods are used. Check these in the two
bootmeths so that only the chosen one is used.
