This is supposed to be supported by the 'bootflow cmd' command, at
least according to the help. There is a 'bootflow cmd clear' but it is
often more intuitive to use 'bootcmd cmd set' with an empty value.
Update the command to pass BOOTFLOWCL_EMPTY in this case.

Allow showing a menu and automatically booting, with 'bootflow scan'.
This is more convenient than using a script.

Return an error when the user does not select an OS, so we know whether
to boot or not.
Move calling of bootflow_menu_run() into a separate function so we can
call it from other places.
Expand the test to cover these cases.
Add some documentation also, while we are here.

- Generally we just drop the #ifdef CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP and endif lines
and use U_BOOT_LONGHELP to declare the same variable name as before
- In a few places, either rename the variable to follow convention or
introduce the variable as it was being done inline before.

At present 'bootflow list' shows <NULL> for the filename when it is not
present. Show an empty string instead, since that is more user-friendly.

Some bootflows (such as EFI and ChromiumOS) delay reading the kernel until
it is needed to boot. This saves time when scanning and avoids needing to
allocate memory for something that may never be used.
To permit reading of these files, add a new 'bootflow read' command.

Provide an option to dump this information if available.
Move the funciion prototype to the common x86 header. Allow the command
line to be left out since 'bootflow info' show this itself and it is
not in the correct place in memory until the kernel is actually booted.
Fix a badly aligned heading while we are here.

Some Linux parameters can be set automatically by U-Boot, if it knows the
device being used. For example, since U-Boot knows the serial console
being used, it can add parameters for earlycon and console.
Add support for this.
Note that this is an experimental feature and we will see how useful it
turns out to be. It is very handy for ChromeOS, since otherwise it is very
difficult to manually determine the UART address or port number,
particularly in a script.
Provide an example of how this is used with ChromeOS.

Add a bootflow command to update the command line more easily. This allows
changing a particular parameter rather than editing a very long strings.
It is also easier to handle with scripting.
The new 'bootflow cmdline' command allows getting and setting single
parameters.
Fix up the example output while we are here, since there are a few new
items.

On x86 boards Linux uses a block of binary data to provide information
about the command line, memory map, etc. Provide a way to store this in
the bootflow so it can be passed on to the OS.
No attempt is made to generalise the code, since other archs don't need
this information. The field is present always, though, to avoid needing
accessors or #ifdefs when building code on other archs.

The "bootargs" environment variable is used to set the command-line
arguments to pass to the OS. Use this same mechanism with bootstd as well.
When the variable is updated, it is written to the current bootflow. When
the current bootflow is updated, the environment variable is updated too.

Some operating systems have a command line which can be adjusted before

In a few cases the error handling is not quite right. Make sure we
return the actual error in distro_efi_read_bootflow_file() rather than
-EINVAL. Return -IO when a file cannot be read. Also show the error name
if available.
This does not change operation, but does make it easier to diagnose
problems.

The patch to relax flag requirements was not accepted[1], so we still have
to have separate bootcommands depending on CMD_BOOTFLOW_FULL.
The previous attempt at this did not work, since it used the wrong name
for the options.
Fix this and change the message to mention BOOTSTD_FULL since this affects
not just the flags, but all functionality, so is more likely what the user
wants.
Drop the useless condition on CMD_BOOTFLOW_FULL while we are here.

When building this with clang, we get a warning such as:
cmd/bootflow.c:412:27: warning: variable 'bflow' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
printf("Selected: %s\n", bflow->os_name ? bflow->os_name : bflow->name);
^~~~~
And a suggestion to just initialize bflow to NULL. This would however
would be ensuring a bad dereference. Instead, looking at the function we
rework things so that when CONFIG_EXPO is not enabled (and so, no UI) we
error early and would never reach this point in the code. Simplify the
rest slightly as well while at this.

It is sometimes useful to have one without the other, e.g. on a device
without a display, since at present the expo feature requires CONFIG_VIDEO
to be enabled.
Update the Makefile and bootflow command to support this, as well as the
EXPO dependency.

We want to support scanning a single label, like 'mmc' or 'usb0'. Add
this feature by plumbing the label through to the iterator, setting a
flag to indicate that only siblings of the initial device should be used.
This means that scanning a bootdev by its name is not supported anymore.
That feature doesn't seem very useful in practice, so it is no great loss.
Add a test for bootdev_find_by_any() while we are here.

These are associated with the ethernet boot device but do not match its
uclass name, so handle them as special cases.
Provide a way to pass flags through with the bootdev so that we know
how to process it. The flags are checked by the bootmeths, to ensure that
only the selected bootmeth is used.
While these both use the network device, they work quite differently. It
is common to run only one of these, or to run PXE before DHCP. Provide
bootflow flags to control which methods are used. Check these in the two
bootmeths so that only the chosen one is used.

Some bootmeths provide a way to load a device tree as well as the base
OS image. Add a way to store this in the bootflow. Update the
'bootflow info' command to show this information.
Note that the device tree is not allocated, but instead is stored at
an address provided by an environment variable. This may need to be
adjusted at some point, but for now it works well and fits in with the
existing distro-boot scripts.
