2022-09-01dt/bindings: Add bindings for FWU Metadata mtd storageSughosh Ganu
Add bindings needed for accessing the FWU metadata regions. These include the compatible string which point to the access method, the actual device which stores the FWU metadata and the offsets for both metadata regions. The current patch adds basic bindings needed for accessing the metadata structure on non-GPT mtd regions.

2022-09-01doc: process, sending_patches: Update and correct the old "Patches" contentTom Rini
- Use gender-neutral language to refer to the user, consistently. - Reference the checkpatch document. - Move the section on commit message tags to the process document and reference this in sending_patches.rst. - Reword the custodian workflow process section to refer to this new section, integrate some of the wording from there in this new section. - Update the comment about GPLv2 applying to August 2022, to be clear this still is correct. - Reword the section about MAKEALL to talk about local build testing and link to the CI document. - Reference the system_configuration document for the note about modifying existing code. - Reword the patchwork flow section.

2022-09-01doc: sending_patches.rst: Incorporate the old "Patches" wiki contentTom Rini
Import as-is much of the old "Patches" wiki page to the current sending_patches.rst file. This means we need to move patman to being included in the higher level ToC and add a reference for "Custodians" in the process document. A very minimal amount of content changing and rewording is done here as part of the import, in order to make the conversion easier.

2022-08-12dm: core: Introduce support for multiple treesSimon Glass
At present ofnode only works with a single device tree, for the most part. This is the control FDT used by U-Boot. When booting an OS we may obtain a different device tree and want to modify it. Add some initial support for this into the ofnode API. Note that we don't permit aliases in this other device tree, since the of_access implementation maintains a list of aliases collected at start-up. Also, we don't need aliases to do fixups in the other FDT. So make sure that flat tree and live tree processing are consistent in this area. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2022-08-12dm: core: Add a note about how livetree updates workSimon Glass
The unflattening algorithm results in a single block of memory being allocated for the whole tree. When writing new properties, these are allocated new memory outside that block. When the block is freed, the allocated properties remain. Document how this works and the potential memory leak, as well as mentioning that updating the livetree is actually supported now.

2022-07-26log: force DEBUG when LOG_DEBUG is activatedPatrick Delaunay
When CONFIG_LOG is activated, if LOG_DEBUG is defined in a file and DEBUG is not defined the trace with debug() macro are not displayed, because the parameter cond : _DEBUG = 0 is checked in debug_cond(). With this patch the define DEBUG, used to force the trace generated by debug() macro, is linked with the define LOG_DEBUG, used to force the trace generated by other macros (log_debug, dev_dbg, pr_debug). We only need to define LOG_DEBUG in a file to activate all the traces generated by any U-Boot debug macro, as it is described in /doc/develop/logging.rst Signed-off-by: Patrick Delaunay <patrick.delaunay@foss.st.com>

2022-07-21watchdog: add pulse support to gpio watchdog driverPaul Doelle
A common external watchdog circuit is kept alive by triggering a short pulse on the reset pin. This patch adds support for this use case, while making the algorithm configurable in the devicetree. The "linux,wdt-gpio" driver being modified is based off the equivalent driver in the Linux kernel, which provides support for this algorithm. This patch brings parity to this driver, and is kept aligned with the functionality and devicetree configuration in the kernel. It should be noted that this adds a required property named 'hw_algo' to the devicetree binding, following suit with the kernel. I'm happy to make this backward-compatible if preferred.
