<title>sata: Rework the CMD_SATA and SATA symbols</title>

<id>d05ef0f258c960c912bfaff2ccad8d7c4c6f35a9</id>
<content type='text'>
Today we typically enable CMD_SATA in order to have the SATA
functionality itself enabled, despite there being a clean split between
the two symbols. This in turn leads to potential configuration problems.
Split things so that SATA continues to be separate and not CMD_SATA
instead depends, functionally, on AHCI being enabled.

To do all of this:
- Have X86 select AHCI directly rather than "default y" it later.
- Make CMD_SATA be a default y option, given the split of platforms that
  enabled SATA and did, or did not, enable CMD_SATA.
- Change "imply CMD_SATA" to "imply SATA"
- Correct TARGET_VEXPRESS64_JUNO because you cannot select SATA_SIL
  without PCI (and in turn, SATA is needed for SATA_SIL).
- Update a number of defconfigs to have no functional change.

As exposed by "make randconfig", we have an issue with the dependencies
for REGMAP (and xPL variants). As this is a library function, it should
always be selected and not depended on by other functionality. This is
largely done correctly today, so just correct the few outliers.

Replace the open-coded bootstage_fdt_add_report() and
bootstage_report() with a call to bootm_final(). This also adds the
"Starting kernel" message, board_quiesce_devices() and
dm_remove_devices_active() which were not previously called on
PowerPC.

This patch renames the board directory from board/freescale to
board/nxp because NXP now provides Board Support Packages (BSPs) and
tools for the former Freescale i.MX and other i.MX products.

All relevant references have been updated accordingly. This change does
not affect functionality.

<title>powerpc: Update linker scripts to ensure appended device tree is aligned</title>

<content type='text'>
With commit 0535e46d55d7 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version
v1.7.2-35-g52f07dcca47c") it is now a fatal error to U-Boot if our
device tree is not 8-byte aligned. In commit 85f586035d75 ("ARM: OMAP2+:
Pad SPL binary to 8-byte alignment before DTB") Beleswar Padhi explains
that we must have ALIGN(x) statements inside of a section to ensure that
padding is included and not simply that the linker address counter is
incremented. To that end, this patch:
- Aligns the final section before _end by 8-bytes by adding '. =
  ALIGN(8);' or changing an existing ALIGN(4) statement.
- Ensure that we do have alignment by adding an ASSERT so that when not
  aligned we fail to link (and explain why).

<title>powerpc: mpc83xx: Check the size of peripheral structs</title>

<content type='text'>
Peripheral registers on MPC83xx-series chips are declared in
immap_83xx.h as a set of structs that ultimately fill the entire MMIO
space of 1 MiB. This patch introduces a compile-time check of the size
of each peripheral struct. The purpose of these checks is two-fold:

1. To quickly tell readers of the code the total size of each struct
2. To verify that the size does not change when a struct is edited

If the size of a peripheral struct were to change by a few bytes due
to an editing error, the result would be mayhem for all following
peripherals, because all offsets would shift by the amount of the error.

All new checks have been compile-tested.

<title>lmb: replace lmb_reserve() and lmb_alloc_addr() API's</title>

There currently are multiple allocation API's in the LMB module. There
are a couple of API's for allocating memory(lmb_alloc() and
lmb_alloc_base()), and then there are two for requesting a reservation
for a particular memory region (lmb_reserve() and
lmb_alloc_addr()). Introduce a single API lmb_alloc_mem() which will
cater to all types of allocation requests and replace lmb_reserve()
and lmb_alloc_addr() with the new API.

Moreover, the lmb_reserve() API is pretty similar to the
lmb_alloc_addr() API, with the one difference being that the
lmb_reserve() API allows for reserving any address passed to it --
the address need not be part of the LMB memory map. The
lmb_alloc_addr() does check that the address being requested is
actually part of the LMB memory map.

There is no need to support reserving memory regions which are outside
the LMB memory map. Remove the lmb_reserve() API functionality and use
the functionality provided by lmb_alloc_addr() instead. The
lmb_alloc_addr() will check if the requested address is part of the
LMB memory map and return an error if not.
