[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 0/4] sunxi: support FEL-provided environment vars and "fel" boot target

This patch series builds upon http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-September/226515.html http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-September/226688.html
v2 combines the previous submissions, and adds some suggested fixes/changes.
v3 introduces another patch at the start of the series to allow using shared definitions from a common asm/arch-sunxi/spl.h include. It's also aimed at addressing some of Siarhei's comments.
Siarhei: As I've shuffled things around a bit for that, I'm not including your ACK on patch v3 2/4. The 4/4 one (bootcmd_fel) is unchanged, and now includes your ACK.
The sunxi-tool side of things is discussed here: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-sunxi@googlegroups.com/msg13071.html
* Hans de Goede already pointed out that it might be preferable to make use of the spl_boot_device() function even from the main (non-SPL) U-Boot binary (e.g. for the "NAND" case). Currently this function is only available with CONFIG_SPL_BUILD set, and implemented in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/board.c Would it be safe to enable it for non-SPL builds and use something like "(spl_boot_device == BOOT_DEVICE_BOARD)" for misc_init_r()?
* Side note: the sunxi spl_boot_device() will probably require some future refinement anyway, to account for the 'oddball' A80. That SoC requires the SPL at a different address (0x10000 instead of 0x0). I've tried to address this (at least in part) by introducing a SPL_ADDR definition in the platform-specific spl.h.
Regards, B. Nortmann
Changes in v3: - (new with v3) - adapted to use asm/arch/spl.h - make use of asm/arch/spl.h to share definitions / helper macro - revert SPL version check to expect exact SPL_HEADER_VERSION
Changes in v2: - Rename field to fel_script_address, discard fel_data_size - Clearing header fields is no longer needed, as mksunxiboot.c zeroes entire image first - renamed fel_data_addr to fel_script_addr, discarded fel_data_size - make sure that FEL-related environment vars are always cleared first - support minimum and maximum SPL (header) version, more verbose error messages - renamed fel_data_addr to fel_scriptaddr - combined both tests into one as suggested by Hans de Goede
Bernhard Nortmann (4): sunxi: move SPL-related definitions to platform-specific include sunxi: (mksunxiboot) signature to indicate "sunxi" SPL variant sunxi: retrieve FEL-provided values to environment variables sunxi: add "fel" boot target

The sunxi platform currently doesn't seem to make any use of the asm/arch-sunxi/spl.h file. This patch moves some declarations from tools/mksunxiboot.c into it.
This enables us to reuse those definitions when extending the sunxi board code (boards/sunxi/boards.c).

Good point, I've fixed this up in my personal tree.

This patch follows up on a discussion of ways to improve support for the sunxi FEL ("USB boot") mechanism, especially with regard to boot scripts, see: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/linux-sunxi/wBEGUoLNRro/rHGq6nSYCQAJ
The idea is to convert the (currently unused) "pad" bytes in the SPL header into an area where data can be passed to U-Boot. To do this safely, we have to make sure that we're actually using our "sunxi" flavor of the SPL, and not the Allwinner boot0.
The modified mksunxiboot introduces a special signature to the SPL header in place of the "pub_head_size" field. This can be used to reliably distinguish between compatible versions of sunxi SPL and anything else (older variants or Allwinner's boot0).

This patch extends the misc_init_r() function on sunxi boards to test for the presence of a suitable "sunxi" SPL header. If found, and the loader ("fel" utility) provided a non-zero value for the boot.scr address, then the corresponding environment variable fel_scriptaddr gets set.
misc_init_r() also sets (or clears) the "fel_booted" variable depending on the active boot device, using the same logic as spl_boot_device().
The goal is to provide sufficient information (within the U-Boot environment) to make intelligent decisions on how to continue the boot process, allowing specific customizations for the "FEL boot" case.

There is no need to pollute a non sunxi header this way, we can simply do "#include <asm/arch/spl.h>" where needed.
No need to resend I've fixed this up in my tree.

This patch makes use of the previous changes to add a new "fel" boot target for sunxi boards.
When booting via FEL, it's often desirable to work around the absence of other (usable) boot devices - or to be able to override them, deviating from the standard boot sequence. To achieve this, the "fel" boot target gets the highest priority, but won't actually do anything unless certain criteria are met.
The "bootcmd_fel" implementation proposed here first tests if an actual FEL boot takes place (using the "fel_booted" env var), and secondly checks that "fel_scriptaddr" was set (originating from the 'loader', i.e. the sunxi-tools fel utility). If both checks pass, then it will try to execute the boot script (boot.scr) at the given address. In case of an error (e.g. an invalid image), the source command might return "false", causing "distro_bootcmd" to proceed with the next boot target.

This patch series builds upon http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-September/226515.html http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-September/226688.html
v2 combines the previous submissions, and adds some suggested fixes/changes.
v3 introduces another patch at the start of the series to allow using shared definitions from a common asm/arch-sunxi/spl.h include. It's also aimed at addressing some of Siarhei's comments.
Siarhei: As I've shuffled things around a bit for that, I'm not including your ACK on patch v3 2/4. The 4/4 one (bootcmd_fel) is unchanged, and now includes your ACK.
The sunxi-tool side of things is discussed here: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-sunxi@googlegroups.com/msg13071.html
- Hans de Goede already pointed out that it might be preferable to
make use of the spl_boot_device() function even from the main (non-SPL) U-Boot binary (e.g. for the "NAND" case). Currently this function is only available with CONFIG_SPL_BUILD set, and implemented in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/board.c Would it be safe to enable it for non-SPL builds and use something like "(spl_boot_device == BOOT_DEVICE_BOARD)" for misc_init_r()?
- Side note: the sunxi spl_boot_device() will probably require
some future refinement anyway, to account for the 'oddball' A80. That SoC requires the SPL at a different address (0x10000 instead of 0x0). I've tried to address this (at least in part) by introducing a SPL_ADDR definition in the platform-specific spl.h.

Changes in v3:
- (new with v3)
- adapted to use asm/arch/spl.h
- make use of asm/arch/spl.h to share definitions / helper macro
- revert SPL version check to expect exact SPL_HEADER_VERSION
Changes in v2:
- Rename field to fel_script_address, discard fel_data_size
- Clearing header fields is no longer needed, as mksunxiboot.c zeroes entire image first
- renamed fel_data_addr to fel_script_addr, discarded fel_data_size
- make sure that FEL-related environment vars are always cleared first
- support minimum and maximum SPL (header) version, more verbose error messages
- renamed fel_data_addr to fel_scriptaddr
- combined both tests into one as suggested by Hans de Goede
Bernhard Nortmann (4): sunxi: move SPL-related definitions to platform-specific include sunxi: (mksunxiboot) signature to indicate "sunxi" SPL variant sunxi: retrieve FEL-provided values to environment variables sunxi: add "fel" boot target
