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 section of the settings file may be missing. Handle that gracefully
rather than emitting an error.
Also update patman to write this section when a new settings file is
created.

Add support for reading a list of bouncing addresses from a in-tree file
(doc/bounces) and from the ~/.patman config file. These addresses are
stripped from the Cc list.

In python 3.x StringIO is no longer a module, and the class can instead
be found in the io module. Adjust the code in the doctest input to
account for both.

In python 3.x the iteritems() method has been removed from dictionaries,
and the items() method does effectively the same thing. On python 2.x
using items() is a little less efficient since it involves copying data,
but as speed isn't a concern in this code switch to using items() anyway
for simplicity.

In python 3.x module names used in import statements are case sensitive,

We should read this file to obtain a set of aliases. This reduces the need
to create them in the ~/.patman file.
This feature did exist in some version of patman, and is mentioned in the
help but it did not find its way upstream.

There are cases that we want to support different settings (or maybe
even different aliases) for different projects. Add support for this
by:
* Adding detection for two big projects: U-Boot and Linux.
* Adding default settings for Linux (U-Boot is already good with the
standard patman defaults).
* Extend the new "settings" feature in .patman to specify per-project
settings.

This patch adds support for a [settings] section in the .patman file.
In this section you can add settings that will affect the default
values for command-line options.
Support is added in a generic way such that any setting can be updated
by just referring to the "dest" of the option that is passed to the
option parser. At the moment options that would make sense to put in
settings are "ignore_errors", "process_tags", and "verbose". You
could override them like:
[settings]
ignore_errors: True
process_tags: False
verbose: True
The settings functionality is also used in a future change which adds
support for per-project settings.

patman shouts when it couldn't find a $(HOME)/.patman file.
Handle it in a sane way by creating a new one for the user.
It looks for a user.name and user.email in the global .gitconfig
file, waits for the user input if it can't find there. Update the
same in the README

What is this?
=============
This tool is a Python script which:
- Creates patch directly from your branch
- Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags
- Inserts a cover letter with change lists
- Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks
- Optionally emails them out to selected people
It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less
error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far,
since it uses the checkpatch.pl script.
It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits.
This means that you can work on a number of different branches at
once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to
git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters
each time. So for example if you put:
in one of your commits, the series will be sent there.
See the README file for full details.
