Rather than doing autoprobe within the driver model code, move it out to
the board-init code. This makes it clear that it is a separate step from
binding devices.
For now this is always done twice, before and after relocation, but we
should discuss whether it might be possible to drop the post-relocation
probe.
For boards with SPL, the autoprobe is still done there as well.
Note that with this change, autoprobe happens after the
EVT_DM_POST_INIT_R/F events are sent, rather than before.

First, the "Boot Loader Specification" link has moved to a new location,
so link to that directly. Second, that link does not document as much of
the extlinux.conf format as I recall the old version doing at least.
However, the Syslinux Project wiki is the current location of the documentation
linked to in doc/README.pxe and also has a reference for SYSLINUX. Link
to both of these.

Patrick Rudolph <patrick.rudolph@9elements.com> says:
Based on the existing work done by Simon Glass this series adds
support for booting aarch64 devices using ACPI only.
As first target QEMU SBSA support is added, which relies on ACPI
only to boot an OS. As secondary target the Raspberry Pi4 was used,
which is broadly available and allows easy testing of the proposed
solution.
The series is split into ACPI cleanups and code movements, adding
Arm specific ACPI tables and finally SoC and mainboard related
changes to boot a Linux on the QEMU SBSA and RPi4. Currently only the
mandatory ACPI tables are supported, allowing to boot into Linux
without errors.
The QEMU SBSA support is feature complete and provides the same
functionality as the EDK2 implementation.
The changes were tested on real hardware as well on QEMU v9.0:
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine sbsa-ref -nographic -cpu cortex-a57 \
-pflash secure-world.rom \
-pflash unsecure-world.rom
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine raspi4b -kernel u-boot.bin -cpu cortex-a72 \
-smp 4 -m 2G -drive file=raspbian.img,format=raw,index=0 \
-dtb bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb -nographic
Tested against FWTS V24.03.00.
Known issues:
- The QEMU rpi4 support is currently limited as it doesn't emulate PCI,
USB or ethernet devices!
- The SMP bringup doesn't work on RPi4, but works in QEMU (Possibly
cache related).
- PCI on RPI4 isn't working on real hardware since the pcie_brcmstb
Linux kernel module doesn't support ACPI yet.

Add support for Arm sbsa [1] v0.3+ that is supported by QEMU [2].
Unlike other Arm based platforms the machine only provides a minimal
FDT that contains number of CPUs, ammount of memory and machine-version.
The boot firmware has to provide ACPI tables to the OS.
Due to this design a full DTB is added here as well that allows U-Boot's
driver to properly function. The DTB is appended at the end of the U-Boot
image and will be merged with the QEMU provided DTB.
In addition provide documentation how to use, enable binman to fabricate both
ROMs that are required to boot and add ACPI tables to make it full compatible
to the EDK2 reference implementation.
The board was tested using Fedora 40 Aarch64 Workstation. It's able
to boot from USB and AHCI or network.
Tested and found working:
- serial
- PCI
- xHCI
- Bochs display
- AHCI
- network using e1000e
- CPU init
- Booting Fedora 40

While here, rearrange the sentence a bit so that "cyclic_run()"

At present a fixed position is used for menu items, 200 pixels to the
right of the left side of the labels. This means that a menu item with
a very long label may overlap the items.
It seems better to calculate the maximum label width and then place the
items to the right of all of them.
To implement this, add a new struct to containing arrangement
information. Calculate it before doing the actual arrangement. Add a
new style item which sets the amount of space from the right side of
the labels to left side of the items.

We have previously added logic to allow a "fallback" option to be
specified in the extlinux configuration. Provide a command that allows
us to set this as the preferred default option when booting.
Combined with the bootcount functionality, this allows the "altbootcmd"
to provide a means of falling back to a previously known good state
after a failed update. For example, if "bootcmd" is set to:
bootflow scan -lb
We would set "altbootcmd" to:
bootmeth set extlinux fallback 1; bootflow scan -lb
Causing the boot process to boot from the fallback option.

Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> says:
When the SPL build-phase was first created it was designed to solve a
particular problem (the need to init SDRAM so that U-Boot proper could
be loaded). It has since expanded to become an important part of U-Boot,
with three phases now present: TPL, VPL and SPL
Due to this history, the term 'SPL' is used to mean both a particular
phase (the one before U-Boot proper) and all the non-proper phases.
This has become confusing.
For a similar reason CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is set to 'y' for all 'SPL'
phases, not just SPL. So code which can only be compiled for actual SPL,
for example, must use something like this:
#if defined(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD) && !defined(CONFIG_TPL_BUILD)
In Makefiles we have similar issues. SPL_ has been used as a variable
which expands to either SPL_ or nothing, to chose between options like
CONFIG_BLK and CONFIG_SPL_BLK. When TPL appeared, a new SPL_TPL variable
was created which expanded to 'SPL_', 'TPL_' or nothing. Later it was
updated to support 'VPL_' as well.
This series starts a change in terminology and usage to resolve the
above issues:
- The word 'xPL' is used instead of 'SPL' to mean a non-proper build
- A new CONFIG_XPL_BUILD define indicates that the current build is an
'xPL' build
- The existing CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is changed to mean SPL; it is not now
defined for TPL and VPL phases
- The existing SPL_ Makefile variable is renamed to SPL_
- The existing SPL_TPL Makefile variable is renamed to PHASE_
It should be noted that xpl_phase() can generally be used instead of
the above CONFIGs without a code-space or run-time penalty.
This series does not attempt to convert all of U-Boot to use this new
terminology but it makes a start. In particular, renaming spl.h and
common/spl seems like a bridge too far at this point.
The series is fully bisectable. It has also been checked to ensure there
are no code-size changes on any commit.
Complete this rename for all directories outside arch/ board/ drivers/
and include/
Use the new symbol to refer to any 'SPL' build, including TPL and VPL
