The current cmd_ut_sub[] array was fine when there were only a few test
suites. But is quite unwieldy now:
- it requires a separate do_ut_xxx for each suite, even though the code
for most is almost identical
- running more than one suite requires running multiple commands, and
there is no record of which suites passed or failed
- 'ut all' runs all suites but reports their results individually
- we need lots of #ifdefs in the array, mirroring those in the makefile
but maintained in a separate place
In fact the tests are all in the same linker list. The suites are
grouped, so it is possible to access the information without a command.
Introduce a 'suite' array, which holds the cmd_ut_...() function to
call, but can also support running a suite without that function. This
means that the array of struct cmd_tbl is transformed into an array of
'struct suite'.
This will allow removal of many of the functions, particularly those
without test-specific init.

Most test suites have a _test suffix. This is not necessary as there is
also a ut_ prefix.
Drop the suffix so that (with future work) the suite name can be used as
the linker-list name.
Remove the suffix from the pytest regex as well, moving it to the top of
the file, as it is a constant.

Some suites have a different name from that used in the linker list.
That makes it hard to programmatically match the name printed when the
suite runs to the linker-list name it has.
Update the names so they are the same.

A limitation of most linker_list macros is that they cannot easily be
used in data structures. This is because they include code inside their
expressions.
Provide a way to support this, with new ll_start_decl() and
ll_end_decl() macros.

This series provides a way to keep track of the images used in bootstd,
including the type of each image.
At present this is sort-of handled by struct bootflow but in quite an
ad-hoc way. The structure has become quite large and is hard to query.
Future work will be able to reduce its size.
Ultimately the 'bootflow info' command may change to also show images as
a list, but that is left for later, as this series is already fairly
long. So for now, just introduce the concept and adjust bootstd to use
it, with a simple command to list the images.
This series includes various alist enhancements, to make use of this new
data structure a little easier.

Add a new 'bootstd images' command, which lists the images which have
been loaded.
Update some existing tests to use it. Provide some documentation about
images in general and this command in particular.
Use a more realistic kernel command-line to make the test easier to
follow.

We want to keep track of images which are loaded, or those which could
perhaps be loaded. This will make it easier to manage memory allocation,
as well as permit removal of the EFI set_efi_bootdev() feature.
Add a list of these, attached to the bootflow. For now the list is
empty.

Use an alist for this data structure as it is somewhat simpler to
manage. This means that bootstd holds a simple list of bootflow structs
and can drop it at will, without chasing down lists.

This list is only used by two functions, which can be updated to iterate
through the global list. Take this approach, which allows the bootdev
list to be dropped.
Overall this makes the code slightly more complicated, but will allow
moving the bootflow list into an alist

This series consists of three patches.
The first patch modifies the function documentation style in the
include/fdt_support.h file to comply with kernel-doc requirements.
The second patch modifies the board_fdt_chosen_bootargs() function to
return a const char* type. This change clarifies to the caller that the
returned string should neither be freed nor modified. It aligns with the
existing fdt_setprop() function, which already utilizes a const char*
parameter. This promotes consistency within the codebase and enhances
code safety by preventing unintended modifications to the returned
string.
The third patch addresses the need for flexibility in providing kernel
command line arguments (bootargs) for different kernel images within the
same U-Boot environment. It introduces a read-only (RO) fdt_property
argument to the board_fdt_chosen_bootargs() function, allowing access to
the original chosen/bootargs data. This is crucial for scenarios where
different kernel versions require distinct console setups (e.g., ttyS0
for vendor kernels and ttyAML0 for upstream kernels). By enabling board
developers to either merge or replace the original bootargs, this
patch enhances the configurability of U-Boot for various kernel
images without relying on outdated configurations like CMDLINE_EXTEND.
CI/CD results: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/pull/716/checks

Sometimes, it is necessary to provide an additional bootargs string to
the kernel command line.
We have a real scenario where one U-Boot blob needs to boot several
kernel images: the vendor-patched kernel image and the latest upstream
kernel image. The Amlogic (Meson architecture) tty driver has different
tty suffixes in these kernels: the vendor uses 'ttySx', while the
upstream implementation uses 'ttyAMLx'. The initial console setup is
provided to the kernel using the kernel command line (bootargs). For the
vendor kernel, we should use 'console=ttyS0,115200', while for the
upstream kernel, it must be 'console=ttyAML0,115200'. This means we have
to use different command line strings depending on the kernel version.
To resolve this issue, we cannot use the CMDLINE_EXTEND kernel
configuration because it is considered legacy and is not supported for
the arm64 architecture. CMDLINE_EXTEND is outdated primarily because we
can provide additional command line strings through the
'chosen/bootargs' FDT node. However, U-Boot uses this node to inject the
U-Boot bootargs environment variable content, which results in U-Boot
silently overriding all data in the 'chosen/bootargs' node. While we do
have the board_fdt_chosen_bootargs() board hook to address such issues,
this function lacks any FDT context, such as the original value of the
'chosen/bootargs' node.
This patch introduces a read-only (RO) fdt_property argument to
board_fdt_chosen_bootargs() to share the original 'chosen/bootargs' data
with the board code. Consequently, the board developer can decide how to
handle this information for their board setup: whether to drop it or
merge it with the bootargs environment.
