Some tests access data in block devices and so cause the cache to fill
up. This results in memory being allocated.
Some tests check the malloc usage at the beginning and then again at the
end, to ensure there is no memory leak caused by the test. The block cache
makes this difficult, since the any test may cause entries to be allocated
or even freed, if the cache becomes full.
It is simpler to clear the block cache after each test. This ensures that
it will not introduce noise in tests which check malloc usage.
Add the logic to clear the cache, using the existing blkcache_invalidate()
function. Drop the duplicate code at the same time.

Move this out of the common header and include it only where needed. In
a number of cases this requires adding "struct udevice;" to avoid adding
another large header or in other cases replacing / adding missing header
files that had been pulled in, very indirectly. Finally, we have a few
cases where we did not need to include <asm/global_data.h> at all, so
remove that include.

Extend manual relocation of block_cache list pointers to all platforms that
enable CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC. Remove m68k-specific checks and provide a
single implementation that adds gd->reloc_off to the pre-relocation
pointers.

On m68k, block_cache list is relocated, but next and prev list
pointers are not adjusted to the relocated struct list_head address,
so the first iteration over the block_cache list hangs.
This patch initializes the block_cache list after relocation.

Cache up to 4 kiB entries. 4 kiB is the default block size on ext4, yet
the underlying block layer devices usually report support for 512B . In
most cases, the 512B support is emulated (ie. SD cards, SSDs, USB sticks
etc.) and the real block size of those devices is much bigger.
To avoid performance degradation with such devices and FS setup, bump
the maximum cache entry size to 4 kiB.

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.

Add a block device cache to speed up repeated reads of block devices by
various filesystems.
This small amount of cache can dramatically speed up filesystem
operations by skipping repeated reads of common areas of a block
device (typically directory structures).
This has shown to have some benefit on FAT filesystem operations of
loading a kernel and RAM disk, but more dramatic benefits on ext4
filesystems when the kernel and/or RAM disk are spread across
multiple extent header structures as described in commit fc0fc50.
The cache is implemented through a minimal list (block_cache) maintained
in most-recently-used order and count of the current number of entries
(cache_count). It uses a maximum block count setting to prevent copies
of large block reads and an upper bound on the number of cached areas.
The maximum number of entries in the cache defaults to 32 and the maximum
number of blocks per cache entry has a default of 2, which has shown to
produce the best results on testing of ext4 and FAT filesystems.
The 'blkcache' command (enabled through CONFIG_CMD_BLOCK_CACHE) allows
changing these values and can be used to tune for a particular filesystem
layout.
