TF-A for STM32MP15 now supports the FIP: it is a packaging format which
includes the secure monitor, u-boot-nodtb.bin and u-boot.dtb
This FIP file is loaded by FSBL = TF-A BL2.
This patch updates the board documentation to use this FIP file and no
more u-boot.stm32 (with STM32 image header) which is no more generated.

With device tree binding migration to yaml it is difficult to synchronize
the binding from Linux kernel to U-Boot.
Instead of maintaining the same dt bindings, this patch adds in the U-Boot
documentation the path to the device tree bindings in Linux kernel for
STMicroelectronics devices, when they are used without modification.

U-Boot mostly uses hex for value input, largely because addresses are much
easier to understand in hex.
But in some cases a decimal value is requested, such as where the value is
small or hex does not make sense in the context. In these cases it is
sometimes useful to be able to provide a hex value in any case, if only to
resolve any ambiguity.
Add this functionality, for increased flexibility.

The PWM pins on North Bridge on Armada 37xx can be configured into PWM
or GPIO functions. When in PWM function, each pin can also be configured
to drive low on 0 and tri-state on 1 (LED mode).
The current definitions handle this by declaring two pin groups for each
pin:
- group "pwmN" with functions "pwm" and "gpio"
- group "ledN_od" ("od" for open drain) with functions "led" and "gpio"
This is semantically incorrect. The correct definition for each pin
should be one group with three functions: "pwm", "led" and "gpio".
Change the "pwmN" groups to support "led" function.
Remove "ledN_od" groups. This cannot break backwards compatibility with
older device trees: no device tree uses it since there is no PWM driver
for this SOC yet. Also "ledN_od" groups are not even documented.

BIOS Release Date must be in format mm/dd/yyyy and must be release date.
U-Boot currently sets BIOS Release Date from U_BOOT_DMI_DATE macro which is
generated from current build timestamp.
Fix this issue by setting U_BOOT_DMI_DATE macro to U-Boot version which is
better approximation of U-Boot release date than current build timestamp.
Current U-Boot versioning is in format yyyy.mm so as a day choose 01.
Some operating systems are using BIOS Release Date for detecting when was
SMBIOS table filled or if it could support some feature (e.g. BIOS from
1990 cannot support features invented in 2000). So this change also ensures
that recompiling U-Boot from same sources but in different year does not
change behavior of some operating systems.
Macro U_BOOT_DMI_DATE is not used in other file than lib/smbios.c
so remove it from global autogenerated files and also from Makefile.

Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
At the moment the U-Boot port for the DragonBoard 410c is designed
to be loaded as an Android boot image after Qualcomm's Little Kernel (LK)
bootloader. This is simple to set up but LK is redundant in this case,
since everything done by LK can be also done directly by U-Boot.
Dropping LK entirely has at least the following advantages:
- Easier installation/board code (no need for Android boot images)
- (Slightly) faster boot
- Boot directly in 64-bit without a round trip to 32-bit for LK
So far this was not possible yet because of unsolved problems:
1. Signing tool: The firmware expects a "signed" ELF image with extra
(Qualcomm-specific) ELF headers, usually used for secure boot.
The DragonBoard 410c does not have secure boot by default but the
extra ELF headers are still required.
2. PSCI bug: There seems to be a bug in the PSCI implementation
(part of the TrustZone/tz firmware) that causes all other CPU cores
to be started in 32-bit mode if LK is missing in the boot chain.
This causes Linux to hang early during boot.
There is a solution for both problems now:
1. qtestsign (https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/qtestsign)
can be used as a "signing" tool for U-Boot and other firmware.
2. A workaround for the "PSCI bug" is to execute the TZ syscall when
entering U-Boot. That way PSCI is made aware of the 64-bit switch
and starts all other CPU cores in 64-bit mode as well.
Simplify the dragonboard410c board by removing all the extra code that
is only used to build an Android boot image that can be loaded by LK.
This allows dropping the custom linker script, special image magic,
as well as most of the special build/installation instructions.
CONFIG_REMAKE_ELF is used to build a new ELF image that has both U-Boot
and the appended DTB combined. The resulting u-boot.elf can then be
passed to the "signing" tool (e.g. qtestsign).
The PSCI workaround is placed in the "boot0" hook that is enabled
with CONFIG_ENABLE_ARM_SOC_BOOT0_HOOK. The extra check for EL1 allows
compatibility with custom firmware that enters U-Boot in EL2 or EL3,
e.g. qhypstub (https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/qhypstub).
As a first step these changes apply only to DragonBoard410c.
Similar changes could likely also work for the DragonBoard 820c.
Note that removing LK wouldn't be possible that easily without a lot of
work already done three years ago by Ramon Fried. A lot of missing
initialization, pinctrl etc was already added back then even though
it was not strictly needed yet.
