As planned earlier, all board support that was marked unused can be
removed now after nobody explicitly asked for these to be kept.
In particular, all of the reference designs get removed now, as these
are not commonly used productively any more. Also, the machines that
were not supported by Debian or the Debian_on_Buffalo group because of
limitations with RAM size are gone.

Over the past ten years, new machine support was based on device tree,
and an initial set of about 400 boards using ATAGS with boardfile
for booting were grandfathered in, with about half of them either
removed or converted to DT over time.
Based on the recent mailing list discussion I started, I have now
turned the findings into a set of patches that marks most board files as
'depends on UNUSED_BOARD_FILES', leaving only 38 of the 196 boards.
For the boards that are marked as unused, there are two final chances
for potential users: The removal is scheduled to take place after the
longterm stable kernel at the end of 2022, so users can stay on that
version for another few years, and if anyone still has one of these
machines and is planning to keep updating kernels beyond that version,
they can speak up now to have their boards taken off the list again.
Waiting for the LTS release also makes sure that there will be at
least one longterm kernel that contains the recent multiplatform
conversion along while still supporting all legacy boards.
The short summary of the current status is:
- The s3c24xx, cns3xxx, iop32x and mv78xx0 platforms have no known
users and will be removed entirely.
- The mmp and davinci platforms have DT support for the important
machines and will become DT-only after this.
- s3c64xx, dove, orion5x, and pxa keep some board files to allow
those to be migrated over to DT more easily, but most board files
are getting removed now. DT support on these platforms is partially
working but requires changes to additional drivers for the other
boards.
- omap1, ep93xx, sa1100, footbridge and rpc have no DT support at
the moment but have some boards with known users. Removing the board
files that nobody uses should make it easier to try a DT conversion
if anyone cares.
There is no explicit timeline what happens with the boards that remain
after this removal, but I expect to revisit this in the future, and
with most boards gone, there will be a good time to do a treewide
review of platform drivers that never gained DT support and have no
remaining in-tree board files.

ARM: orion: add ATAGS dependencies
ARM: pxa: add Kconfig dependencies for ATAGS based boards
ARM: add CONFIG_UNUSED_BOARD_FILES
ARM: add ATAGS dependencies to non-DT platforms
There are a total of eight platforms that only suppor ATAGS based boot
with board files but no devicetree booting.
For dove, the DT support is part of the mvebu platform, which shares
driver but no code in arch/arm.
Most of these will never get converted to DT, and the majority of the
board files appear to be entirely unused already. There are still known
users on a few machines, and there may be interest in converting some
omap1, ep93xx or footbridge machines over in the future.
For the moment, just add a Kconfig dependency to hide these platforms
completely when CONFIG_ATAGS is disabled, and reorder the priority
of the options: Rather than offering to turn ATAGS off for platforms
that have DT support, make it a top-level setting that determines
which platforms are visible.
The s3c24xx platform supports one machine with DT support, but it
cannot be built without also including ATAGS support, and the
entire platform is scheduled for removal, so leaving the entire
platform behind a dependency seems good enough.
All defconfig files should keep working, as the option remains default
enabled.

- The code relies on rc_pci_fixup being called, which only happens
when CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS is enabled, so add that to Kconfig. Omitting
this causes a booting failure with a non-obvious cause.
- Update rc_pci_fixup to set the class properly, copying the
more modern style from other places
- Correct the rc_pci_fixup comment
This patch just re-applies commit 1dc831bf53 ("ARM: Kirkwood: Update
PCI-E fixup") for all other Marvell ARM platforms which have same buggy
PCIe controller and do not use pci-mvebu.c controller driver yet.
Long-term goal for these Marvell ARM platforms should be conversion to
pci-mvebu.c controller driver and removal of these fixups in arch code.

The dove platform is now ready to be enabled for multiplatform
support, this patch does the switch over by modifying the Kconfig file,
the defconfig and removing the last mach/*.h header that becomes obsolete
with this.
This work was originally done in 2015 as all the ARMv7 machiens
gove moved over to multiplatform builds, but at the time it conflicted
with some patches that Russell was trying to upstream, so we
left it at that.
I hope that there is no longer a need to keep dove separate from the
rest, so we can either add it to the other ARMv7 platforms, or just
replace it with the DT based platform code for the same hardware
in mach-mvebu and remove mach-dove entirely.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
