2023-09-20riscv: dts: starfive: generate u-boot-spl.bin.normal.outHeinrich Schuchardt
The StarFive VisionFive 2 board cannot load spl/u-boot-spl.bin but needs a prefixed header. We have referring to a vendor tool (spl_tool) for this task. 'mkimage -T sfspl' can generate the prefixed file. Use binman to invoke mkimage for the generation of file spl/u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out. Update the documentation.

2023-09-19Mark DISTRO_DEFAULTS as deprecatedSimon Glass
Standard boot has been in place for a while now. Quite a few problems have been found and fixed. It seems like a good time to mark the script-based approach as deprecated and encourage people to use standard boot. Update the DISTRO_DEFAULTS Kconfig to encourage people to move to standard boot, which is able to boot Linux distributions automatically. Add a short migration guide to make this easier.

2023-09-11cmd: gpt: Add command to swap partition orderJoshua Watt
Adds a command called "gpt transpose" which will swap the order two partition table entries in the GPT partition table (but leaves them pointing to the same locations on disk). This can be useful for swapping bootloaders in systems that use an A/B partitioning scheme where the bootrom is hard coded to look for the bootloader in a specific index in the GPT partition table.
