[U-Boot] [PATCH] CONFIG_BOOTDELAY default should not affect runtime

Because the code that handles bootdelay is compiled in conditionally based on the default value, you are restricted in the default, regardless of what you want the runtime options to be.
Change the source to always check if any default is given so that other values can be selected and used at runtime.

Careful!! This is probably changing behaviour of a number of boards significantly.
we have to check if we really want this, and if yes, we have to announce it and provide a grace period (eventually using doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt ?)

It seems the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY as < 0 is not very common:
~/hacking/u-boot% git grep CONFIG_BOOTDELAY | egrep 'BOOTDELAY\s* -[0-9]' include/configs/RPXsuper.h:#define CONFIG_BOOTDELAY -1 include/configs/ep8260.h:#define CONFIG_BOOTDELAY -1 include/configs/espt.h:#define CONFIG_BOOTDELAY -1 include/configs/scb9328.h:#define CONFIG_BOOTDELAY -1 include/configs/sh7763rdp.h:#define CONFIG_BOOTDELAY -1
So maybe those could have CONFIG_BOOTDELAY undefined keeping them working as before?

Yes, they could. But it is a change of a long-standing behaviour, and we try to avoid breaking existing boards. At minimum this needs to be announced, the respective board maintainers need to be modified, and given sufficient time to react.

Yes; I agree but breaking out of tree boards ... well, it is the price of not working upstream so I think it cannot be a blocker for U-Boot improvements and cleanups.

You also change behaviour (and thus potentially break) at least 5 boards in mainline. See also [1] about breaking user space in Linux (which is pretty much equivalent to what would happen here).

I see it different; I understand we cannot break current boards so a patch should also convert the boards to the new behavior.
I also don't see a compare it to user space in Linux fair, I think it'd be more like a driver API change in Linux and Linux breaks API for out of tree drivers very ofthen so I think same fits here.

So maybe those could have CONFIG_BOOTDELAY undefined keeping them working as before?
The problem is that as I read the README, we document CONFIG_BOOTDELAY as having a valid value range of from -2 to sane positive value. So yes, if we want to change this we need to (a) change the README too and (b) give some sort of heads-up.
Off the top of my head, we could change to: CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DISABLED and CONFIG_FORCE_AUTOBOOT_NO_DELAY and update doc/README.autoboot as well and add some sanity #warning checks for a release or two in some common generated config related file or something like that.

I think we do have a behavior change as previously negative bootdelay would not result in bootdelay being saved to the default env and thus not in the env. Now, it's possible we can mostly retain compatibility by making bootdelay part of the env if set, rather than if set >= 0. Or am I still missing it and really, there's no change in behavior?

The behavior change you are describing doesn't happen. The condition was not removed from include/env_default.h so the default env should remain exactly the same as before. The difference is that now the code that checks for the var to exists will initially hit the default case until "bootdelay" is added to the env.
