e8c0e0064c powerpc: mpc85xx: Fix CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE support
Currently CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE is completely broken and U-Boot for some
mpc85xx board (e.g. P2020) has to be compiled with CONFIG_OF_EMBED.
Otherwise it crashes during early init.

When debug console is enabled and all debug logging options are turned on
then U-Boot on P2020 with CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE prints following error:

  No valid device tree binary found at 110dc300
  initcall sequence 110d3560 failed at call 1109535c (err=-1)
  ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

Problem is with appended DTB. When CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC is set
U-Boot binary image without DTB ends immediately after the .u_boot_list
section. At this position is defined _end symbol at which U-Boot expects
start of the appended DTB.

Problem is that after .u_boot_list section are in linker script defined
another sections with 256 byte long padding which are completely empty.
During conversion of U-Boot ELF binary to RAW binary u-boot-nodtb.bin,
objcopy removes trailing zero padding and therefore DTB is appended at
wrong position.

Changing alignment from 256 bytes to 4 bytes fixes this issue. And appended
DTB is finally at he correct position. With this fix U-Boot on P2020 with
CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE option starts working again.

74b7d69e61 powerpc: dts: p1020/p2020: Fix esdhc node name
For compatibility with Linux kernel DTS files and also with other U-Boot
powerpc DTS files, rename esdhc@2e000 node to sdhc@2e000 in p1020-post.dtsi
and p2020-post.dtsi include files.

Linux kernel DTS files which include these dtsi files, expect that esdhc
node has name sdhc@2e000 and do not work with other node names.

57d527e753 mmc: fsl_esdhc_spl: Call mmc_init() before booting from SD card
If env is stored on SD card then U-Boot SPL automatically calls mmc_init()
before it is going to load proper U-Boot from SD card.

If env is not stored on SD card then U-Boot SPL fails to read proper U-Boot
from SD card due to missing mmc_init() call.

So add missing mmc_init() call into fsl_esdhc_spl's mmc_boot() function.
It fixes booting from SD card on P2020 boards without env support in SPL.

mmc_init() returns early if card was already initialized, so there is no
issue with calling this function more times.

to L2/SRAM. This size has upper limit of L2 cache size. In most cases this

Therefore this size in pre-PBL header cannot be used for determining size

So always use CONFIG_SYS_MMC_U_BOOT_SIZE for determining size of proper
U-Boot which stored on SD card.

_start symbol contains only 32-bit data number 0x27051956 despite it is

marking uboot image header.

mpc85xx start.S code does not define valid uboot image header, so IH_MAGIC
number in _start symbol is useless there.

Moreover this _start symbol is not used at all. Entry point is at symbol
_start_e500.

So because this _start symbol is not used for anything, completely remove
it with IH_MAGIC number. After _start symbol was _start_cont symbol, so

49bb245f1d armv8: psci: add ARMV8_PSCI_RELOCATE Kconfig option
There is an user-selectable SYS_HAS_ARMV8_SECURE_BASE, which has the
same meaning but is just for the ls1043ardb board. As no in-tree config
uses this, drop it and replace it with something more sophiticated:
ARMV8_PSCI_RELOCATE. This option will then enable the ARMV8_SECURE_BASE
option which is used as the base to relocate the PSCI code (or any code
in the secure region, but that is only PSCI). A SoC (or board) can now
opt-in into having such a secure region by enabling
SYS_HAS_ARMV8_SECURE_BASE. Enable it for the LS1043A SoC, where it was
possible to relocate the PSCI code before as well as on the LS1028A SoC
where there will be PSCI support soon.

Additionally, make ARMV8_PSCI and SEC_FIRMWARE_ARMV8_PSCI exclusive.

cb14cc8867 armv8: layerscape: get rid of smc_call()
There are two different implementations to do a secure monitor call:
smc_call() and arm_smccc_smc(). The former is defined in fwcall.c and
seems to be an ad-hoc implementation. The latter is imported from linux.

smc_call() is also only available if CONFIG_ARMV8_PSCI is not defined.
This makes it impossible to have both PSCI calls and PSCI implementation
in one u-boot build. The layerscape SoC code decide at runtime via
check_psci() if there is a PSCI support. Therefore, this is a
prerequisite patch to add PSCI implementation support for the layerscape
SoCs.

Note, for the TFA part, this is only compile time tested with
(ls1028ardb_tfa_defconfig).

The problem is usually with the clocking, which is supposed to be

clocking is not correct, then this erratum will cause an SError.
However, according to Ran Wang in [1]:
" ... this erratum is used to pass USB compliance test only, you could
 disable this workaround on your board if you don't any USB issue on
 normal use case, I think it's fine."

So just disable this erratum by default for these processors.

This is just a fine tunning. The memory that we have populated on sama7g5ek

8cfac237b9 Merge branch '2022-04-25-initial-implementation-of-stdboot'
To quote the author:
The bootflow feature provide a built-in way for U-Boot to automatically
boot an Operating System without custom scripting and other customisation.
This is called 'standard boot' since it provides a standard way for
U-Boot to boot a distro, without scripting.

It introduces the following concepts:

   - bootdev - a device which can hold a distro
   - bootmeth - a method to scan a bootdev to find bootflows (owned by
                U-Boot)
   - bootflow - a description of how to boot (owned by the distro)

This series provides an implementation of these, enabled to scan for
bootflows from MMC, USB and Ethernet. It supports the existing distro
boot as well as the EFI loader flow (bootefi/bootmgr). It works
similiarly to the existing script-based approach, but is native to
U-Boot.

With this we can boot on a Raspberry Pi 3 with just one command:

   bootflow scan -lb

which means to scan, listing (-l) each bootflow and trying to boot each
one (-b). The final patch shows this.

With a standard way to identify boot devices, booting become easier. It
also should be possible to support U-Boot scripts, for backwards
compatibility only.

...

The design is described in these two documents:
