653cd92d66 cmd: gpt: Add option to write GPT partitions to environment variable
This change would enhance the existing 'gpt read' command to allow
(optionally) writing of the read GPT partitions to an environment
variable in the UBOOT partitions layout format. This would allow users
to easily change the overall partition settings by editing said variable
and then using the variable in the 'gpt write' and 'gpt verify' commands.

c0364ce1c6 doc/README.gpt: define partition type GUID for U-Boot environment
When setting aside a GPT partition for holding the U-Boot environment,
having a partition type GUID [1] indicating "Linux filesystem" (as
most tools default to) is somewhat misleading - and there's no other
well-known type GUID that is better suited. So to have a canonical
value to put into the type field, define

    3de21764-95bd-54bd-a5c3-4abe786f38a8

to mean a partition holding a U-Boot environment.

This is a v5 namespace-name GUID [2], generated [3] from a namespace
of "25cbcde0-8642-47c6-a298-1a3a57cd256b" and name "U-Boot
environment".

Should future type GUIDs be defined in the context of U-Boot, it's
sensible to use that same namespace GUID.

83d290c56f SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style
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.

203f9b48ad GPT: provide commands to selectively rename partitions
This patch provides support in u-boot for renaming GPT
partitions.  The renaming is accomplished via new 'gpt swap'
and 'gpt rename' commands.

The 'swap' mode returns an error if no matching partition names
are found, or if the number of partitions with one name does not equal
the number with the second name.   The 'rename' variant always
succeeds as long as a partition with the provided number exists.

Rewriting the partition table has the side-effect that all partitions
end up with "msftdata" flag set.  The reason is that partition type
PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID is hard-coded in the gpt_fill_pte()
function.  This does not appear to cause any harm.

0a24238625 GPT: fix error in partitions string doc
The existing partitions-list parsing in cmd/gpt.c passes a value
from gpt_default() to set_gpt_info() that README.gpt suggests
should begin with 'partitions='.  Partition-list strings should
in fact begin with 'uuid_disk', as otherwise the call from
set_gpt_info() to extract_val() to find 'uuid_disk' will fail.
Change README.gpt accordingly.

cfdaf4caa2 part:efi: add bootable parameter in gpt command
The optional parameter bootable is added in gpt command to set the
partition attribute flag "Legacy BIOS bootable"

This flag is used in extlinux and so in with distro to select
the boot partition where is located the configuration file
(please check out doc/README.distro for details).

With this parameter, U-Boot can be used to create the boot partition
needed for device using distro.

example of use:

setenv partitions "name=u-boot,size=60MiB;name=boot,size=60Mib,bootable;\
                   name=rootfs,size=0"

> gpt write mmc 0 $partitions

> part list mmc 0

Partition Map for MMC device 0  --   Partition Type: EFI

Part	Start LBA	End LBA		Name
	Attributes
	Type GUID
	Partition GUID
  1	0x00000022	0x0001e021	"u-boot"
	attrs:	0x0000000000000000
	type:	ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7
	guid:	cceb0b18-39cb-d547-9db7-03b405fa77d4
  2	0x0001e022	0x0003c021	"boot"
	attrs:	0x0000000000000004
	type:	ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7
	guid:	d4981a2b-0478-544e-9607-7fd3c651068d
  3	0x0003c022	0x003a9fde	"rootfs"
	attrs:	0x0000000000000000
	type:	ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7
	guid:	6d6c9a36-e919-264d-a9ee-bd00379686c7

> part list mmc 0 -bootable devplist

> printenv devplist

devplist=2

Then the distro scripts will search extlinux in partition 2
and not in the first partition.

b38c108a98 part:efi: add GUID for linux file system data
Previously, Linux used the same GUID for the data partitions as Windows
(Basic data partition: EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7).
This created problems when dual-booting Linux and Windows in UEFI-GPT
Setup, so a new GUID (Linux filesystem data:
0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4) was defined jointly by GPT fdisk
and GNU Parted developers.
