It would be useful to be able to boot an OS when CONFIG_CMDLINE is disabled. This could allow reduced code size.
Standard boot provides a way to handle programmatic boot, without scripts, so such a feature is possible. The main impediment is the inability to use the booting features of U-Boot without a command line. So the solution is to avoid passing command arguments and the like to code in boot/
A similar process has taken place with filesystems, for example, where we have (somewhat) separate Kconfig options for the filesystem commands and the filesystems themselves.
This series starts the process of refactoring the bootm logic so that it can be called from standard boot without using the command line. Mostly it removes the use of argc, argv and cmdtbl from the internal logic.
Some limited tidy-up is included, but this is kept to smaller patches, rather than trying to remove all #ifdefs etc. Some function comments are added, however.
A simple programmatic boot is provided as a starting point.
This work will likely take many series, so this is just the start.
Size growth with this series for firefly-rk3288 (Thumb2) is:
arm: (for 1/1 boards) all +23.0 rodata -49.0 text +72.0
This should be removed by:
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-dm/-/issues/11
but it is not included in this series as it is already large enough.
No functional change is intended in this series.
