When CONFIG_LOG is activated, if LOG_DEBUG is defined in a file and
DEBUG is not defined the trace with debug() macro are not displayed,
because the parameter cond : _DEBUG = 0 is checked in debug_cond().
With this patch the define DEBUG, used to force the trace generated by
debug() macro, is linked with the define LOG_DEBUG, used to force the
trace generated by other macros (log_debug, dev_dbg, pr_debug).
We only need to define LOG_DEBUG in a file to activate all the
traces generated by any U-Boot debug macro, as it is described in

Rename the sections used to implement linker lists so they begin with
'__u_boot_list' rather than '.u_boot_list'. The double underscore at the
start is still distinct from the single underscore used by the symbol
names.
Having a '.' in the section names conflicts with clang's ASAN
instrumentation which tries to add redzones between the linker list
elements, causing expected accesses to fail. However, clang doesn't try
to add redzones to user sections, which are names with all alphanumeric
and underscore characters.

To quote the author:
The bootflow feature provide a built-in way for U-Boot to automatically
boot an Operating System without custom scripting and other customisation.
This is called 'standard boot' since it provides a standard way for
U-Boot to boot a distro, without scripting.
It introduces the following concepts:
- bootdev - a device which can hold a distro
- bootmeth - a method to scan a bootdev to find bootflows (owned by
U-Boot)
- bootflow - a description of how to boot (owned by the distro)
This series provides an implementation of these, enabled to scan for
bootflows from MMC, USB and Ethernet. It supports the existing distro
boot as well as the EFI loader flow (bootefi/bootmgr). It works
similiarly to the existing script-based approach, but is native to
U-Boot.
With this we can boot on a Raspberry Pi 3 with just one command:
bootflow scan -lb
which means to scan, listing (-l) each bootflow and trying to boot each
one (-b). The final patch shows this.
With a standard way to identify boot devices, booting become easier. It
also should be possible to support U-Boot scripts, for backwards
compatibility only.
...
The design is described in these two documents:

a capsule file whatever the firmware binary type is.
To prepare for the future extension, the command syntax will be a bit
modified to allow users to specify arbitrary GUID for their own FMP driver.

The build system already automatically looks for and includes an
in-tree *-u-boot.dtsi when building the control .dtb. However, there
are some things that are awkward to maintain in such an in-tree file,
most notably the metadata associated to public keys used for verified
boot.
The only "official" API to get that metadata into the .dtb is via
mkimage, as a side effect of building an actual signed image. But
there are multiple problems with that. First of all, the final U-Boot
(be it U-Boot proper or an SPL) image is built based on a binary
image, the .dtb, and possibly some other binary artifacts. So
modifying the .dtb after the build requires the meta-buildsystem
(Yocto, buildroot, whatnot) to know about and repeat some of the steps
that are already known to and handled by U-Boot's build system,
resulting in needless duplication of code. It's also somewhat annoying
and inconsistent to have a .dtb file in the build folder which is not
generated by the command listed in the corresponding .cmd file (that
of course applies to any generated file).
So the contents of the /signature node really needs to be baked into
the .dtb file when it is first created, which means providing the
relevant data in the form of a .dtsi file. One could in theory put
that data into the *-u-boot.dtsi file, but it's more convenient to be
able to provide it externally: For example, when developing for a
customer, it's common to use a set of dummy keys for development,
while the consultants do not (and should not) have access to the
actual keys used in production. For such a setup, it's easier if the
keys used are chosen via the meta-buildsystem and the path(s) patched
in during the configure step. And of course, nothing prevents anybody
from having DEVICE_TREE_INCLUDES point at files maintained in git, or
for that matter from including the public key metadata in the
*-u-boot.dtsi directly and ignore this feature.
There are other uses for this, e.g. in combination with ENV_IMPORT_FDT
it can be used for providing the contents of the /config/environment
node, so I don't want to tie this exclusively to use for verified
boot.
