The first sentence is half-way true; the macro is always defined, but
has the value 0 or 1.

The second is outright false. A lot of code guarded by
MEM_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA uses a "ulong" to store values, so if
sizeof(long) is not 8, that code would probably compile, but not work
at all as expected.

It would probably be possible to make all such code explicitly use u64
and thus make it work on 32 bit targets, but until that is done, do
not pretend that it's ok to override the automatic value of
MEM_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA.

Update to use the new docs.u-boot.org URL for documentation.

To quote the author:

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.

Changes in v3:
- Add a panic if programmatic boot fails
- Drop RFC tag

Changes in v2:
- Add new patch to adjust position of unmap_sysmem() in boot_get_kernel()
- Add new patch to obtain command arguments
- Fix 'boot_find_os' typo
- Pass in the command name
- Use the command table to provide the command name, instead of "bootm"

This option is defined in both SPL and TPL builds, so correct the docs
related to this. Also point to spl_phase() which is normally a better
option. Mention VPL as well.

Contrary to what the help message says, this is the number of pages per
block. Calculate it automatically based on SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE and
SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE. To better reflect its semantics, rename it to
SYS_NAND_BLOCK_PAGES.

Move the useful help to Kconfig.

Drop mention of CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE since it doesn't exist.

Correct a 'CONFIGSYS_MALLOC_F_LEN' typo

We like to put the SPL first so it is clear that it relates to SPL. Rename
various malloc-related options which have crept in, to stick to this
convention.

The main README file is the wrong place to document how different terminal
emulations can be used to access the U-Boot serial console. C-Kermit which
requires a configuration file or several commands to access the U-Boot
console may not be the preferred choice for newcomers. The provided wiki
link is invalid.

The man-pages for loadb and loads already show how to use the commands with
picocom.

This is very old and does not appear to be used. The CONFIG option
enabling it is no-longer present. Drop it.
