U-Boot is often used conjunction with QEMU to boot via EFI or syslinux.
Here the QFW boot method is not needed.

At least for qemu-riscv64_smode_defconfig the kernel parameter is used
to specify the U-Boot binary. Trying to run U-Boot as a kernel makes
no sense.

Provide Kconfig parameter CONFIG_BOOTMETH_QFW to decide if the QFW boot
method shall be provided.

<title>bootstd: Add a bootmeth for Android</title>

Android boot flow is a bit different than a regular Linux distro.
Android relies on multiple partitions in order to boot.

A typical boot flow would be:
1. Parse the Bootloader Control Block (BCB, misc partition)
2. If BCB requested bootonce-bootloader, start fastboot and wait.
3. If BCB requested recovery or normal android, run the following:
3.a. Get slot (A/B) from BCB
3.b. Run AVB (Android Verified Boot) on boot partitions
3.c. Load boot and vendor_boot partitions
3.d. Load device-tree, ramdisk and boot

The AOSP documentation has more details at [1], [2], [3]

This has been implemented via complex boot scripts such as [4].
However, these boot script are neither very maintainable nor generic.
Moreover, DISTRO_DEFAULTS is being deprecated [5].

Add a generic Android bootflow implementation for bootstd.
For this initial version, only boot image v4 is supported.

As reported by Jonas Karlman this series breaks booting on some AArch64
platforms with common use cases. For now the best path forward is to
revert the series.

This reverts commit 777c28460947371ada40868dc994dfe8537d7115, reversing
changes made to ab3453e7b12daef47b9e91da2a2a3d48615dc6fc.

Simon Glass &lt;sjg@chromium.org&gt; says:

This series is the culmanation of the current line of refactoring
series. It adjusts pxe to call the booting functionality directly
rather than going through the command-line interface.

With this is is possible to boot using the extlinux bootmeth without
the command line enabled.

It also updates fastboot to do a similar thing.

Create a separate Kconfig option which enables the bootm logic,
separate from the 'bootm' command. This will eventually allow booting
without CMDLINE enabled.

Update boards which disable CMD_BOOTM to disable BOOTM instead, since
CMD_BOOTM now depends on BOOTM

If UEFI is enabled in U-Boot, we want it to conform to the UEFI
specification. This requires enabling the boot manager boot method.

For now it does almost nothing, since most bootmeths require the
