The Linux coding style guide (Documentation/process/coding-style.rst)
clearly says:
It's a **mistake** to use typedef for structures and pointers.
Besides, using typedef for structures is annoying when you try to make
headers self-contained.
Let's say you have the following function declaration in a header:
void foo(bd_t *bd);
This is not self-contained since bd_t is not defined.
To tell the compiler what 'bd_t' is, you need to include <asm/u-boot.h>
#include <asm/u-boot.h>
void foo(bd_t *bd);
Then, the include direcective pulls in more bloat needlessly.
If you use 'struct bd_info' instead, it is enough to put a forward
declaration as follows:
struct bd_info;
void foo(struct bd_info *bd);
Right, typedef'ing bd_t is a mistake.
I used coccinelle to generate this commit.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
<smpl>
@@
typedef bd_t;
@@
-bd_t
+struct bd_info
</smpl>

This introduces support for the NC-SI protocol, modelled as a phy driver
for other ethernet drivers to consume.
NC-SI (Network Controller Sideband Interface) is a protocol to manage a
sideband connection to a proper network interface, for example a BMC
(Baseboard Management Controller) sharing the NIC of the host system.
Probing and configuration occurs by communicating with the "remote" NIC
via NC-SI control frames (Ethernet header 0x88f8).
This implementation is roughly based on the upstream Linux
implementation[0], with a reduced feature set and an emphasis on getting
a link up as fast as possible rather than probing the full possible
topology of the bus.
The current phy model relies on the network being "up", sending NC-SI
command frames via net_send_packet() and receiving them from the
net_loop() loop (added in a following patch).
The ncsi-pkt.h header[1] is copied from the Linux kernel for consistent
field definitions.

Add support for capturing ethernet packets and storing
them in memory in PCAP(2.4) format, later to be analyzed by
any PCAP viewer software (IE. Wireshark)
This feature greatly assist debugging network issues such
as detecting dropped packets, packet corruption etc.

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.

This change gives the ability to reuse the <tftp.h> header file by other
subsystems (like e.g. dfu).
Without this change compilation error emerges for the legacy update.c file.
