  • When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
    there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
    area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
    with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
    Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
    line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
    and with slightly different comment styles than us.

    In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
    and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

    This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
    license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
    contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
    and have introduced one.

  • This feature is inspired by /proc/config.gz of Linux. In Linux,
    if CONFIG_IKCONFIG is enabled, the ".config" file contents are
    embedded in the kernel image. If CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC is also
    enabled, the ".config" contents are exposed to /proc/config.gz.
    Users can do "zcat /proc/config.gz" to check which config options
    are enabled on the running kernel image.

    The idea is almost the same here; if CONFIG_CMD_CONFIG is enabled,
    the ".config" contents are compressed and saved in the U-Boot image,
    then printed by the new command "config".

    The usage is quite simple. Enable CONFIG_CMD_CONFIG, then run
    > config
    from the command line interface. The ".config" contents will be
    printed on the console.

    This feature increases the U-Boot image size by about 4KB (this is
    mostly due to the gzip-compressed .config file). By default, it is
    enabled only for Sandbox because we do not care about the memory
    footprint on it. Of course, this feature is architecture agnostic,
    so you can enable it on any board if the image size increase is
    acceptable for you.
