test: Stop running the patman tests

2026-07-06T14:28:51Z

The patman tests no longer exist in the tree, so drop them from the test/run script (used by 'make tcheck' and friends) and from the tools-testing example in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

doc: Remove the patman documentation

2026-07-06T14:28:50Z

The full patman manual now lives with the standalone patch-manager package, making the 1000-line copy in the tree redundant. Remove the in-tree manual, its README and the doc/develop/patman.rst toctree page. The sending-patches guide already introduces patman, so point it at the patch-manager package instead of the now-dead ':doc:' cross-reference and, with the manual gone, add a couple of lines on how the tool works. Point the SPI howto at that guide too, rather than repeating the install details. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Tom Rini Reviewed-by: Mattijs Korpershoek

doc: Move the b4 guide into sending_patches

2026-07-06T14:28:50Z

The b4 contributor guide sits in the coding-style document, which is an odd place for it. Move it into sending_patches.rst, next to the patman note, so both patch-sending tools are described together. The b4_contrib label moves with it, so the reference from process.rst still resolves.

treewide: change email links from mailman to patch.msgid.link with message-id

2026-07-03T20:41:14Z

In preparation of the migration of the mailman mailing-list currently hosted on the denx.de infrastructure, migrate the links in the code, comments and documentation to https://patch.msgid.link to be future proof and always link to the expected content data and uses the message-id in the URL which will help find the appropriate e-mail in the future.

doc: bootstd: specify CONFIG_BOOTSTD_DEFAULTS provides network features when NET=y

2026-05-01T08:35:06Z

In the past, we only had one network stack which was called NET. The network features were enabled for the legacy (and then only) networking stack since commit 22353fa6b585 ("bootstd: Add some default filesystems and commands"). Then instead on relying on NET legacy stack for enabling networking features, the dependencies were (mostly) changed to depend on CMD_NET in commit a0c739c184ca ("boot: Create a common BOOT_DEFAULTS for distro and bootstd"). Then a new stack (lwIP) appeared, then CMD_NET was made available with this new stack in commit 98ad145db61a ("net: lwip: add DHCP support and dhcp commmand") making the networking features possible to enable and finally commit f1e978fd54d9 ("boot: Update tests around network symbols in BOOT_DEFAULTS_CMDS") made it explicit that we need *a* network stack to enable some networking features. Align the bootstd documentation with what's actually implemented as Kconfig dependencies. Note that BOOTSTD_DEFAULTS selects BOOT_DEFAULTS which selects BOOT_DEFAULTS_CMDS which then selects network features. The CMDLINE symbol needs to be enabled as well for BOOT_DEFAULTS to select BOOT_DEFAULTS_CMDS, but I don't think we need to go that far into explaining what's required to enable some commands.
