doc: switch to HTTPS for a few links

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

It's 2026, we really should be using HTTPS wherever possible. The links in this commit were individually tested, they work fine (the sipeed one sometimes times out but I'm guessing it's hosted in China and it's not uncommon for Europeans to have issues reaching servers there).

doc: develop/sending_patches: use link from ozlabs.org mailman archive

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

This avoids triggering checkpatch that asks us to use lore.kernel.org where the patchwork mailing list isn't hosted. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: develop/sending_patches: remove mention to the test mailing list

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

We don't have one on the new mailman and Tom said[1] it was so rarely used it doesn't make sense for now to set up one on the new mailman, thus drop it. [1] https://libera.catirclogs.org/u-boot/2026-08-25#40371346; Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: develop/bootstd: fix link to distro_boot

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

We never had a file in boot/distro.c. The only time we had a distro_boot() function was between v2022.07 when it was introduced and v2023.07 (excluded) when it was renamed to extlinux_boot(). So let's just point at the latest release that still had it. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: fix broken links to mailing lists

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

The new domain needs /mailman added after the domain to be able to reach the mailman information page about the mailing list, so add it. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: develop/tests_writing: update links to new GitLab

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

The GitLab is now hosted at git.u-boot-project.org so let's update those old links that weren't migrated in the previous relocation from gitlab.denx.de to source.denx.de. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: bootstd: update link to BSL

2026-08-29T04:41:35Z

The link states the current version has moved to https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION/ which itself says it's now hosted at https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/boot_loader_specification/ so used that link instead of making the user hop through multiple hoops.

doc: develop/driver-model: fs_firmware_loader: update link

2026-08-29T04:41:35Z

The current link redirects to a generic page on the Intel website. Looking at the Wayback Machine[1], it really looks like what is currently exposed in the official kernel docs, so used that instead.

doc: develop/uefi: stop tripping linkcheck

2026-08-29T04:41:35Z

https:// trips linkcheck because it thinks it's supposed to be a link and is malformed. Instead, simply replace with HTTPS. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: develop/coccinelle: remove dead link in supplemental documentation

2026-08-29T04:41:35Z

It redirects to a fancy 404. From a cursory look at the Wayback machine[1], I don't think it has more than what's already in this file so simply remove the mention of it. [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20240915073329/https://bottest.wiki.kernel.org/coccicheck Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz
