To quote the author:
The bootflow feature provide a built-in way for U-Boot to automatically
boot an Operating System without custom scripting and other customisation.
This is called 'standard boot' since it provides a standard way for
U-Boot to boot a distro, without scripting.
It introduces the following concepts:
- bootdev - a device which can hold a distro
- bootmeth - a method to scan a bootdev to find bootflows (owned by
U-Boot)
- bootflow - a description of how to boot (owned by the distro)
This series provides an implementation of these, enabled to scan for
bootflows from MMC, USB and Ethernet. It supports the existing distro
boot as well as the EFI loader flow (bootefi/bootmgr). It works
similiarly to the existing script-based approach, but is native to
U-Boot.
With this we can boot on a Raspberry Pi 3 with just one command:
bootflow scan -lb
which means to scan, listing (-l) each bootflow and trying to boot each
one (-b). The final patch shows this.
With a standard way to identify boot devices, booting become easier. It
also should be possible to support U-Boot scripts, for backwards
compatibility only.

This adds support for booting entirely from JTAG while using a
hard-coded RCW. With these steps, it is not necessary to program a
"good" RCW using CodeWarrior. The method here can be performed with any
JTAG adapter supported by OpenOCD, including the on-board CMSIS-DAP
(albeit very slowly).
These steps require LS1046A support in OpenOCD, which was added in [1].

This has different semantics in different places. Go with the bootm method
and put it in a common function so that the behaviour is consistent in
U-Boot. Update the docs.
To be clear, this changes the way that 'bootelf' and standalone boot
work. Before, if autostart was set to "fred" or "YES", for example, they
would consider that a "yes". This may change behaviour for some boards,
but the only in-tree boards which mention autostart use "no" to disable
it, which will still work.

At present U-Boot environment variables, and thus scripts, are defined
by CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS. It is painful to add large amounts of text
to this file and dealing with quoting and newlines is harder than it
should be. It would be better if we could just type the script into a
text file and have it included by U-Boot.
Add a feature that brings in a .env file associated with the board
config, if present. To use it, create a file in a board/<vendor>
directory, typically called <board>.env and controlled by the
CONFIG_ENV_SOURCE_FILE option.
The environment variables should be of the form "var=value". Values can
extend to multiple lines. See the README under 'Environment Variables:'
for more information and an example.
In many cases environment variables need access to the U-Boot CONFIG
variables to select different options. Enable this so that the environment
scripts can be as useful as the ones currently in the board config files.
This uses the C preprocessor, means that comments can be included in the
environment using /* ... */
Also support += to allow variables to be appended to. This is needed when
using the preprocessor.

All platforms define CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR, but only some define
CONFIG_LOADADDR. Very very rarely are these not the same address, and
qemu-ppce500 is one such case. However, based on reading the history of
the code, this mismatched value was simply a copy-paste from other
PowerPC platforms where it is this unused currently. Switch the code to
use CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR and update the documentation.

U-Boot mostly uses hex for value input, largely because addresses are much
easier to understand in hex.
But in some cases a decimal value is requested, such as where the value is
small or hex does not make sense in the context. In these cases it is
sometimes useful to be able to provide a hex value in any case, if only to
resolve any ambiguity.
Add this functionality, for increased flexibility.
