To quote the author:
It would be useful to be able to boot an OS when CONFIG_CMDLINE is
disabled. This could allow reduced code size.
Standard boot provides a way to handle programmatic boot, without
scripts, so such a feature is possible. The main impediment is the
inability to use the booting features of U-Boot without a command line.
So the solution is to avoid passing command arguments and the like to
code in boot/
A similar process has taken place with filesystems, for example, where
we have (somewhat) separate Kconfig options for the filesystem commands
and the filesystems themselves.
This series starts the process of refactoring the bootm logic so that
it can be called from standard boot without using the command line.
Mostly it removes the use of argc, argv and cmdtbl from the internal
logic.
Some limited tidy-up is included, but this is kept to smaller patches,
rather than trying to remove all #ifdefs etc. Some function comments
are added, however.
A simple programmatic boot is provided as a starting point.
This work will likely take many series, so this is just the start.
Size growth with this series for firefly-rk3288 (Thumb2) is:
arm: (for 1/1 boards) all +23.0 rodata -49.0 text +72.0
This should be removed by:
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-dm/-/issues/11
but it is not included in this series as it is already large enough.
No functional change is intended in this series.
Changes in v3:
- Add a panic if programmatic boot fails
- Drop RFC tag
Changes in v2:
- Add new patch to adjust position of unmap_sysmem() in boot_get_kernel()
- Add new patch to obtain command arguments
- Fix 'boot_find_os' typo
- Pass in the command name
- Use the command table to provide the command name, instead of "bootm"
Add a dm/uclass-id.h to the bootdev header file, since it uses
enum uclass_id

During bootstd scanning for bootdevs, if bootdev_hunt_drv() encounters
a device not found error (e.g. ENOENT), let it return a successful status
so that bootstd will continue scanning the next devices, not stopping
prematurely.
Background:
During scanning for bootflows, it's possible for bootstd to encounter a
faulty device controller. Also when the same u-boot is used for another
variant of the same board, some device controller such as SATA might
not exist.
I've found this issue while converting the Marvell Sheevaplug board to
use bootstd. This board has 2 variants, the original Sheevaplug has MMC and
USB only, but the later variant comes with USB, MMC, and eSATA ports. We
have been using the same u-boot (starting with CONFIG_IDE and later with DM
CONFIG_SATA) for both variants. This worked well with the old
envs-scripting booting scheme.

When 'usb stop' is run, doing 'bootflow scan' does not run the USB hunter
again so does not see any devices. Fix this by telling bootstd about the
state of USB.

This name is a little confusing since it suggests that it sets up the
sibling block device. In fact it sets up a bootdev for it. Rename the
function to make this clearer.

It seems better to call this a 'bootdev' since this is name used in the
documentation. The older 'Bootdevice' name is no-longer used and may cause
confusion with the 'bootdevice' environment variable.
Update throughout to use bootdev.

Use the -l flag to indicate whether to report missing uclasses.
Also try to be more helpful when no devices are found. For example, when
we see something 'scsi0' requested and nothing was found, this indicates
that there are no SCSI devices, so show a suitable message.
Move messages out of the low-level functions so that silent operation
is possible.
This means they are never reported unless BOOTSTD_FULL is enabled, since
the -l flag cannot otherwise be set.

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.

Add a function which moves to the next priority to be processed.
This works by storing the current priority in the bootflow iterator. The
logic to set this up is included in a subsequent commit.

Add a function to hunt for a bootdev label and find the bootdev produced
by the hunter (or already present).
Add a few extra flags so that we can distinguish between "mmc1", "mmc" and
"1" which all need to be handled differently.

We need extensions to be set up before we start trying to boot any of the
bootdevs. Add a new priority before all the others for tht sort of thing.
Also add a 'none' option, so that the first one is not 0.

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.

Some bootdevs must be enumerated before they appear. For example, USB
bootdevs are not visible until USB is enumerated.
With standard boot this needs to happen automatically, since we only
want to enumerate a bus if it is needed.
Add a way to define bootdev 'hunters' which can be used to hunt for
bootdevs of a given type. Track which ones have been used and add a
command to list them.

The code in these functions turns out to often be the same. Add a default
get_bootflow() function and allow the drivers to select it by setting
the method to NULL.

At present MMC uses the bootdev_setup_for_dev() function to set up the
bootdev. This is because MMC only has one block-device child, so does not
need to worry about naming of the bootdev.
However this inconsistency with other bootdevs that use block devices is a
bit annoying. The only real reason for it is to have a name like
'mmc0.bootdev' instead of 'mmc0.blk.bootdev'.
Update bootdev_setup_sibling_blk() to drop '.blk' from the name where it
appears, thus removing the only reason to use the bootdev_setup_for_dev().
Switch MMC over to the subling function.

A 'bootdev' is a device which can be used to boot an operating system.
It is a child of the media device (e.g. MMC) which handles reading files
from that device, such as a bootflow file.
Add a uclass for bootdev and the various helpers needed to make it
work. Also add a binding file, empty for now.
