Qualcomm peripherals like UART, SPI, I2C, etc are all exposed under a
common GENI Serial Engine wrapper device. Replace the stub driver we use
for this currently with a full-on misc device and implement support for
loading peripheral firmware.

Each of the peripherals has it's own protocol-specific firmware, this is
stored on the internal storage of the device with a well-known partition
type GUID.

To support this, GENI will bind peripherals in two stages. First the
ones that already have firmware loaded (such as the serial port) are
bound in the typical way. But devices that require firmware loading are
deferred until EVT_LAST_STAGE_INIT. At this point we can be sure that
the storage device is available, so we load the firmware and then bind
and probe the remaining children.

Child devices are expected to determine if firmware loading is necessary
and call qcom_geni_load_firmware().

Since Linux currently doesn't support loading firmware (and firmware may
not be available), we probe all GENI peripherals to ensure that they
always load firmware if necessary.

This driver provides an interface to access the functions of the system
controller on the Microchip PolarFire SoC.
This driver includes functions to use the system controller to read
the device serial number.

This series implements a driver for the BIST (Built-In Self Test) module
for K3 devices. The BIST driver must ideally support triggering of BIST
tests, both PBIST (Memory BIST) and LBIST (Logic BIST) on a core. Both
tests are destructive in nature. Please see links [1] and [2] for
further information regarding the two.

At boot up, BIST is executed by hardware for the MCU domain
automatically as part of HW POST. So BIST has been checked only for the
MCU domain when U-Boot comes up in the usual U-Boot to Linux boot flow.
To facilitate the use-case where some safe firmware is intended to be
run on a safe core, it is best to have triggered the BIST tests on that
core. As an example, we take triggering the BIST tests on the MAIN R52_x
cores. The triggering patch is kept as DONOTMERGE.

The general procedure for triggering BIST on a core is:
	1. Power on the core under test following a sequence
	2. Trigger the BIST test
	3. Reset the core under test following a sequence

BIST tests are triggered from A72 SPL where the DM (Device Manager
firmware that handles power management) is already up and can perform
these power sequences for us.

Boot logs (with LOG_DEBUG and CONFIG_K3_BIST enabled) and DT node kept (already
merged to ti-k3-dts-next [3]):

Add a driver for the BIST module that support triggering of both PBIST
(Memory BIST) and LBIST (Logic BIST) tests. Also expose the relevant
operations and functions that would be required for an end user to
trigger the tests.

This series switches to always using $(PHASE_) in Makefiles when
building rather than $(PHASE_) or $(XPL_). It also starts on documenting
this part of the build, but as a follow-up we need to rename
doc/develop/spl.rst and expand on explaining things a bit.

Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250401225851.1125678-1-trini@konsulko.com

It is confusing to have both "$(PHASE_)" and "$(XPL_)" be used in our
Makefiles as part of the macros to determine when to do something in our
Makefiles based on what phase of the build we are in. For consistency,
bring this down to a single macro and use "$(PHASE_)" only.

When the SPL build-phase was first created it was designed to solve a
particular problem (the need to init SDRAM so that U-Boot proper could
be loaded). It has since expanded to become an important part of U-Boot,
with three phases now present: TPL, VPL and SPL

Due to this history, the term 'SPL' is used to mean both a particular
phase (the one before U-Boot proper) and all the non-proper phases.
This has become confusing.

For a similar reason CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is set to 'y' for all 'SPL'
phases, not just SPL. So code which can only be compiled for actual SPL,
for example, must use something like this:

   #if defined(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD) && !defined(CONFIG_TPL_BUILD)

In Makefiles we have similar issues. SPL_ has been used as a variable
which expands to either SPL_ or nothing, to chose between options like
CONFIG_BLK and CONFIG_SPL_BLK. When TPL appeared, a new SPL_TPL variable
was created which expanded to 'SPL_', 'TPL_' or nothing. Later it was
updated to support 'VPL_' as well.

This series starts a change in terminology and usage to resolve the
above issues:

- The word 'xPL' is used instead of 'SPL' to mean a non-proper build
- A new CONFIG_XPL_BUILD define indicates that the current build is an
  'xPL' build
- The existing CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is changed to mean SPL; it is not now
  defined for TPL and VPL phases
- The existing SPL_ Makefile variable is renamed to SPL_
- The existing SPL_TPL Makefile variable is renamed to PHASE_

It should be noted that xpl_phase() can generally be used instead of
the above CONFIGs without a code-space or run-time penalty.

This series does not attempt to convert all of U-Boot to use this new
terminology but it makes a start. In particular, renaming spl.h and
common/spl seems like a bridge too far at this point.

The series is fully bisectable. It has also been checked to ensure there
are no code-size changes on any commit.
