Using UPDATE_TFTP the firmware can be updated from tFTP by writing to NOR
flash. The same is possible by defining a dfu command in CONFIG_PREBOOT.
The dfu command cannot only write to NOR but also to other devices. In
README.dfutfp UPDATE_TFTP has been marked as deprecated. It is not used
by any board.
Remove tFTP update via CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP.

Currently Gitlab CI lacks a test for dfu tftp. I will try to set one up.
When it is properly tested I will send a final patch series.
But beforehand I would like to know if eliminating UPDATE_TFTP is ok.
Best regards
Heinrich

-Automatic software update from a TFTP server
-============================================
-
-Overview
---------
-
-This feature allows to automatically store software updates present on a TFTP
-server in NOR Flash. In more detail: a TFTP transfer of a file given in
-environment variable 'updatefile' from server 'serverip' is attempted during
-boot. The update file should be a FIT file, and can contain one or more
-updates. Each update in the update file has an address in NOR Flash where it
-should be placed, updates are also protected with a SHA-1 checksum. If the
-TFTP transfer is successful, the hash of each update is verified, and if the
-verification is positive, the update is stored in Flash.
-
-The auto-update feature is enabled by the CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP macro:
-
-#define CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 1
-
-
-Note that when enabling auto-update, Flash support must be turned on. Also,
-one must enable FIT and LIBFDT support:
-
-#define CONFIG_FIT 1
-#define CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 1
-
-The auto-update feature uses the following configuration knobs:
-
-- CONFIG_UPDATE_LOAD_ADDR
-
- Normally, TFTP transfer of the update file is done to the address specified
- in environment variable 'loadaddr'. If this variable is not present, the
- transfer is made to the address given in CONFIG_UPDATE_LOAD_ADDR (0x100000
- by default).
-
-- CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
- CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
-
- These knobs control the timeouts during initial connection to the TFTP
- server. Since a transfer is attempted during each boot, it is undesirable to
- have a long delay when a TFTP server is not present.
- CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX specifies the number of milliseconds to wait for
- the server to respond to initial connection, and CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
- gives the number of such connection retries. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX must
- be non-negative and is 0 by default, CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX must be
- positive and is 100 by default.
-
-Since the update file is in FIT format, it is created from an *.its file using
-the mkimage tool. dtc tool with support for binary includes, e.g. in version
-1.2.0 or later, must also be available on the system where the update file is
-to be prepared. Refer to the doc/uImage.FIT/ directory for more details on FIT
-images.
-
-
-Example .its files
-------------------
-
-- doc/uImage.FIT/update_uboot.its
-
- A simple example that can be used to create an update file for automatically
- replacing U-Boot image on a system.
-
- Assuming that an U-Boot image u-boot.bin is present in the current working
- directory, and that the address given in the 'load' property in the
- 'update_uboot.its' file is where the U-Boot is stored in Flash, the
- following command will create the actual update file 'update_uboot.itb':
-
- mkimage -f update_uboot.its update_uboot.itb
-
- Place 'update_uboot.itb' on a TFTP server, for example as
- '/tftpboot/update_uboot.itb', and set the 'updatefile' variable
- appropriately, for example in the U-Boot prompt:
-
- setenv updatefile /tftpboot/update_uboot.itb
- saveenv
-
- Now, when the system boots up and the update TFTP server specified in the
- 'serverip' environment variable is accessible, the new U-Boot image will be
- automatically stored in Flash.
-
- NOTE: do make sure that the 'u-boot.bin' image used to create the update
- file is a good, working image. Also make sure that the address in Flash
- where the update will be placed is correct. Making mistake here and
- attempting the auto-update can render the system unusable.
-
-- doc/uImage.FIT/update3.its
-
- An example containing three updates. It can be used to update Linux kernel,
- ramdisk and FDT blob stored in Flash. The procedure for preparing the update
- file is similar to the example above.
-
-TFTP update via DFU
--------------------
-
-- It is now possible to update firmware (bootloader, kernel, rootfs, etc.) via
- TFTP by using DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade). More information can be found in
- ./doc/README.dfutftp documentation entry.
