Simon Glass 79f663515a bootstd: Rename distro and syslinux to extlinux
We use the terms 'distro' to mean extlinux but they are not really the
same. 'Distro' could refer to any method of booting a distribution,
whereas extlinux is a particular method.

Also we sometimes use syslinux, but it is better to use the same term in
all cases.

Rename distro to syslinux and also update bootstd uses of syslinux to use
extlinux instead.

U-Boot standard boot methods (bootmeth)
======================================
This provides methods (called bootmeths) for locating bootflows on a boot
device (bootdev). These are normally created as children of the bootstd device.
Required properties:
compatible:
"u-boot,extlinux" - distro boot from a block device
"u-boot,extlinux-pxe" - distro boot from a network device
"u-boot,distro-efi" - EFI boot from an .efi file
"u-boot,efi-bootmgr" - EFI boot using boot manager (bootmgr)
Example:
bootstd {
compatible = "u-boot,boot-std";
filename-prefixes = "/", "/boot/";
bootdev-order = "mmc2", "mmc1";
extlinux {
compatible = "u-boot,extlinux";
};
efi {
compatible = "u-boot,distro-efi";
};
};
