patman: Enhance implementation of file-based defaults

2025-05-27T09:07:42+00:00

Patman allows defaults for its command-line flags to be read from a
file. The implementation of this does not fully work with subcommands,
since we don't want a default for those.

Also, it relies on being able to parse any sort of cmdline in order to
figure out the options that are available. But in some cases, the
cmdline may not parse, e.g. if there are required options, or
conflicting options.

Add a class which can be safely used to parse any cmdline, since it
allows execution to continue even when errors are obtained. Use this to
determine the defaults, being careful to skip sub/commands.

Another way to handle all of this would be to maintain the defaults
separately and insert them into the parser manually. For now, I'm not
sure which is best.

patman: Deal with git safe-directory warning

2025-05-27T09:07:42+00:00

When running tests where the .git directory is not owned by the current
user, various warnings are produced and the tests fail. This happens in
CI.

For patman itself, modify the gitutil.get_top_level() function to return
None in this case. Ensure that the warning is not shown, since it creates
about 1000 lines of output.

For checkpatch, the same warning is produced even though --no-tree is
given. Suppress that as well.

patman: Split parser creation from parsing

2025-05-27T09:07:42+00:00

Tests may want to parse their own arguments. Refactor the parser code to
support this and allow settings to receive arguments as well.

Move this file into U-Boot's Python library, so that it is no-longer
part of patman.

This makes a start on:

tools: patman: fix deprecated Python ConfigParser methods

2024-07-03T06:36:33+00:00

The method `ConfigParser.readfp()` is marked deprecated[1].

In Python 3.12 this method have been removed, so replace it with
`ConfigParser.read_file()`.

patman: additionally honor a local .patman config file

2023-01-06T02:21:57+00:00

This enables versioning a project specific patman configuration file.
It also makes it possible to declare the project name, which is not a
useful thing to do in $HOME/.patman.  A new test is added, along
updated documentation.

Rationale: if the user explicitly provide this argument, they probably
