aa36c84edf powerpc/mpc85xx: T104x: Add nand secure boot target
For mpc85xx SoCs, the core begins execution from address 0xFFFFFFFC.
In non-secure boot scenario from NAND, this address will map to CPC
configured as SRAM. But in case of secure boot, this default address
always maps to IBR (Internal Boot ROM).
The IBR code requires that the bootloader(U-boot) must lie in 0 to 3.5G
address space i.e. 0x0 - 0xDFFFFFFF.

For secure boot target from NAND, the text base for SPL is kept same as
non-secure boot target i.e. 0xFFFx_xxxx but the SPL U-boot binary will
be copied to CPC configured as SRAM with address in 0-3.5G(0xBFFC_0000)
As a the virtual and physical address of CPC would be different. The
virtual address 0xFFFx_xxxx needs to be mapped to physical address
0xBFFx_xxxx.

Create a new PBI file to configure CPC as SRAM with address 0xBFFC0000
and update DCFG SCRTACH1 register with location of Header required for
secure boot.

The changes are similar to
commit 467a40dfe3
    powerpc/mpc85xx: SECURE BOOT- NAND secure boot target for P3041

While P3041 has a 1MB CPC and does not require SPL. On T104x, CPC
is only 256K and thus SPL framework is used.
The changes are only applicable for SPL U-Boot running out of CPC SRAM
and not the next level U-Boot loaded on DDR.

8f01397ba7 powerpc/mpc85xx: SECURE BOOT- Enable chain of trust in SPL
As part of Chain of Trust for Secure boot, the SPL U-Boot will validate
the next level U-boot image. Add a new function spl_validate_uboot to
perform the validation.

Enable hardware crypto operations in SPL using SEC block.
In case of Secure Boot, PAMU is not bypassed. For allowing SEC block
access to CPC configured as SRAM, configure PAMU.

63865278da mpc83xx: make it bootable with the latest kernel
Due to the blow up of the latest kernel size, the default gnuzip
size (8M) seems too small. The yocto kernel size I built for
mpc8315erdb board is 5294393, and it can't be boot by using the
latest u-boot. So expand gnuzip buffer for all the mpc83xx boards
to fix this issue.

Robert P. J. Day also pointed that the kernel partition on the NAND
flash is also too small, fix it at the same time.

16c8c1709d mpc83xx: fix the corruption of u-boot when saveenv
Robert P. J. Day has pointed that the value of SYS_MONITOR_LEN in
MPC8315ERDB.h is smaller than the u-boot.bin. This will cause the
overlap between the code of u-boot and the environment variable.
So when executing saveenv, it will corrupt the code of u-boot and

reserving a 512K area.

55edb9d4d5 mtd: cfi_flash: fix polling for bit XSR.7 on Intel chips
flash_full_status_check() checks bit XSR.7 on Intel chips. This
should be done by only checking bit 7 and not by comparing the
whole status byte or word with 0x80.

This fixes the non-working block erase in the pflash emulation
of Qemu when used with the MIPS Malta board. MIPS Malta uses x32
mode to access the pflash device. In x32 mode Qemu mirrors the
lower 16 bits of the status word into the upper 16 bits. Thus
the CFI driver gets a status word of 0x8080 in x32 mode. If
flash_full_status_check() uses flash_isequal(), then it polls for
XSR.7 by comparing 0x8080 with 0x80 which never becomes true.

b45db3b590 ARMv8: add the secure monitor firmware framework
This framework is introduced for ARMv8 secure monitor mode firmware.
The main functions of the framework are, on EL3, verify the firmware,
load it to the secure memory and jump into it, and while it returned
to U-Boot, do some necessary setups at the 'target exception level'
that is determined by the respective secure firmware.

So far, the framework support only FIT format image, and need to define
the name of which config node should be used in 'configurations' and
the name of property for the raw secure firmware image in that config.
The FIT image should be stored in Byte accessing memory, such as NOR
Flash, or else it should be copied to main memory to use this framework.

980d6a5511 ARM: Add an empty secure stack section
Until now we've been using memory beyond psci_text_end as stack space
for the secure monitor or PSCI implementation, even if space was not
allocated for it.

This was partially fixed in ("ARM: allocate extra space for PSCI stack
in secure section during link phase"). However, calculating stack space
from psci_text_end in one place, while allocating the space in another
is error prone.

This patch adds a separate empty secure stack section, with space for
CONFIG_ARMV7_PSCI_NR_CPUS stacks, each 1 KB. There's also
__secure_stack_start and __secure_stack_end symbols. The linker script
handles calculating the correct VMAs for the stack section. For
platforms that relocate/copy the secure monitor before using it, the
space is not allocated in the executable, saving space.

For platforms that do not define CONFIG_ARMV7_PSCI_NR_CPUS, a whole page
of stack space for 4 CPUs is allocated, matching the previous behavior.

Since the secure section in the u-boot image is only storage, there's

Page align the secure section only when CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE is not
defined. And instead of just aligning the __secure_start symbol, align
the whole .__secure_start section. This also makes the section empty,
so we need to add KEEP() to the input entry to prevent the section from
being garbage collected.

This patch add EMAC driver support for H3/A83T/A64 SoCs.
Tested on Pine64(A64-External PHY) and Orangepipc(H3-Internal PHY).

BIG Thanks to Andre for providing some of the DT code.

26c0c15786 sunxi: mmc: increase status register polling rate for data transfers
With a recent bunch of SD3.0 cards in our A20-based board we
experienced data transfer rates of about 250 KiB/s instead of 10 MiB/s
with previous cards from the same vendor (both 4 GB/class 10). By
increasing status register polling rate from 1 kHz to 1 MHz we were
able to reach the original transfer rates again. With the old cards
we now even reach about 16 MiB/s.

320e0570e6 sunxi: FEL - Add the ability to recognize and auto-import uEnv-style data
The patch converts one of the "reserved" fields in the sunxi SPL
header to a fel_uEnv_length entry. When booting over USB ("FEL
mode"), this enables the sunxi-fel utility to pass the string
length of uEnv.txt compatible data; at the same time requesting
that this data be imported into the U-Boot environment.

If parse_spl_header() in the sunxi board.c encounters a non-zero
value in this header field, it will therefore call himport_r() to
merge the string (lines) passed via FEL into the default settings.
Environment vars can be changed this way even before U-Boot will
attempt to autoboot - specifically, this also allows overriding
"bootcmd".

With fel_script_addr set and a zero fel_uEnv_length, U-Boot is
safe to assume that data in .scr format (a mkimage-type script)
was passed at fel_script_addr, and will handle it using the
existing mechanism ("bootcmd_fel").

19e99fb4ff sunxi: Support booting from SPI flash
Allwinner devices support SPI flash as one of the possible
bootable media type. The SPI flash chip needs to be connected
to SPI0 pins (port C) to make this work. More information is
available at:

    https://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SPI_flash

This patch adds the initial support for booting from SPI flash.
The existing SPI frameworks are not used in order to reduce the
SPL code size. Right now the SPL size grows by ~370 bytes when
CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUNXI option is enabled.

While there are no popular Allwinner devices with SPI flash at
the moment, testing can be done using a SPI flash module (it
can be bought for ~2$ on ebay) and jumper wires with the boards,
which expose relevant pins on the expansion header. The SPI flash
chips themselves are very cheap (some prices are even listed as
low as 4 cents) and should not cost much if somebody decides to
design a development board with an SPI flash chip soldered on
the PCB.

Another nice feature of the SPI flash is that it can be safely
accessed in a device-independent way (since we know that the
boot ROM is already probing these pins during the boot time).
And if, for example, Olimex boards opted to use SPI flash instead
of EEPROM, then they would have been able to have U-Boot installed
in the SPI flash now and boot the rest of the system from the SATA
hard drive. Hopefully we may see new interesting Allwinner based
development boards in the future, now that the software support
for the SPI flash is in a better shape :-)

Testing can be done by enabling the CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUNXI option
in a board defconfig, then building U-Boot and finally flashing
the resulting u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin binary over USB OTG with
a help of the sunxi-fel tool:

   sunxi-fel spiflash-write 0 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin

The device needs to be switched into FEL (USB recovery) mode first.
The most suitable boards for testing are Orange Pi PC and Pine64.
Because these boards are cheap, have no built-in NAND/eMMC and
expose SPI0 pins on the Raspberry Pi compatible expansion header.
The A13-OLinuXino-Micro board also can be used.
