Merge patch series "tools: qconfig: print a proper error when database is missing"

2026-07-14T21:42:08Z

Julien Stephan says: When I first ran ./tools/qconfig.py, it immediately crashed with a Python traceback because the configuration database had not yet been generated. This series adds a simple pre-check that detects this condition and prints a clear error message instructing the user to generate the database first using the -b option, instead of failing with an unhandled exception. While looking at the script, I also noticed that the help text still references the obsolete moveconfig.rst document. This series updates that reference as well.

When CONFIG_DATABASE does not exist, read_database() would fail with a Python traceback. Add a pre-check to print a clear message asking the user to generate the database first with the -b option. Signed-off-by: Julien Stephan Reviewed-by: Tom Rini

tools: binman: ti_board_cfg: Add configurable sw-rev support

2026-07-13T23:06:33Z

The software revision field in the combined board config binary header was hardcoded to 1, preventing independent control from SBL SWREV configured via ti-secure-rom's sw-rev property. Add support for the optional 'sw-rev' DTS property in ti_board_config nodes, which sets the SWREV byte in the header. Defaults to 1 for backward compatibility.

mkimage: allow zynqmpbif to use a register initialization file

2026-07-08T06:55:51Z

The ZynqMP Boot Image Format allows specifying the register initialization file with the "[init]" attribute. Since this feature is already supported by the "zynqmpimage" backend, this commit leverages that existing capability to add support for the "[init]" attribute in the zynqmpbif backend: https://docs.amd.com/r/en-US/ug1283-bootgen-user-guide/init This currently uses the same register initialization file format as zynqmpimage (ASCII text hex values with each line composed of a pair of register address and value), for example: === 0xff003248 0x12345678 === It is not, yet, compatible with the format used by bootgen: https://docs.amd.com/r/en-US/ug1283-bootgen-user-guide/Initialization-Pairs-and-INT-File-Attribute Use this feature, with other zynqmpbif options, like so: === image : { [init] reginit.int [bootloader] fsbl.elf [pmufw_image] pmufw.elf [destination_cpu=a53-0, exception_level=el-3] bl31.elf [destination_cpu=a53-0, exception_level=el-2, load=0x08000000, startup=0x08000000] u-boot.bin } === Signed-off-by: Erich E.

patman: Remove the patch-management code

2026-07-06T14:28:51Z

Delete the command-line tool and its supporting modules, now that this functionality lives in the standalone patch-manager package. Keep the modules that buildman still imports (commit and patchstream, plus their dependencies series, get_maintainer and settings), along with the stub command. Trim __init__.py to match.

patman: Remove the test suite

2026-07-06T14:28:51Z

These tests cover the patch-management functionality, which is being removed from the tree in favour of the standalone patch-manager package. Drop the tests and their data files. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Replace the tool with a stub for patch-manager

2026-07-06T14:28:51Z

patman is now maintained as a standalone 'patch-manager' package, rather than in the U-Boot tree. Replace the command with a small stub which tells people how to install it. buildman still uses the shared modules commit and patchstream (and their dependencies), so leave those in place; the patches that follow remove the patch-management code itself.

tools: Stop packaging patman as a pip module

2026-07-06T14:28:50Z

patman is no longer shipped from the U-Boot tree, so drop it from the 'make pip' target and from make_pip.sh, and remove its packaging files (setup.py, pyproject.toml, requirements.txt). Nothing else refers to them by this point in the series, so they can go. Also fix binman's pyproject.toml, which declares package-data for a 'patman' package (a copy-paste leftover); use 'binman' instead. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass
