Like many other projects, U-Boot has a tradition of including big
blocks of License headers in all files. This not only blows up the
source code with mostly redundant information, but also makes it very
difficult to generate License Clearing Reports. An additional problem
is that even the same lincenses are referred to by a number of
slightly varying text blocks (full, abbreviated, different
indentation, line wrapping and/or white space, with obsolete address
information, ...) which makes automatic processing a nightmare.
To make this easier, such license headers in the source files will be
replaced with a single line reference to Unique Lincense Identifiers
as defined by the Linux Foundation's SPDX project [1]. For example,
in a source file the full "GPL v2.0 or later" header text will be
replaced by a single line:
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
We use the SPDX Unique Lincense Identifiers here; these are available
at [2].
Note: From the legal point of view, this patch is supposed to be only
a change to the textual representation of the license information,
but in no way any change to the actual license terms. With this patch
applied, all files will still be licensed under the same terms they
were before.
Note 2: The apparent difference between the old "COPYING" and the new
"Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt" only results from switching to the upstream
version of the license which is differently formatted; there are not
any actual changes to the content.
Note 3: There are some recurring questions about linense issues, such
as:
- Is a "All Rights Reserved" clause a problem in GPL code?
- Are files without any license header a problem?
- Do we need license headers at all?
The following excerpt from an e-mail by Daniel B. Ravicher should help
with these:

| It is not a conflict to grant a license and also reserve all rights, as
| implicit in that language is that you are reserving all "other" rights
| not granted in the license. Thus, a file with "Licensed under GPL, All
| Rights Reserved" would mean that it is licensed under the GPL, but no
| other rights are given to copy, modify or redistribute it.

Commit 4750884 introduced a change in the dependency generation which
breaks SPL, because the source files being built are not initially present
and are symlinked as part of the build.
The .depend file must depend not only on the files in the DEPS list but
also on the sources which did not contribute files to the DEPS list, since
these sources will otherwise not get a dependency and will not be built.

The dependency rules are currently done in a shell 'for' loop. This does not
permit Makefile variables to adjust preprocessor flags as is done with normal
compile flags, using the CFLAGS_path/file.o syntax.
This change moves the dependency generation into the Makefile itself, and
permits a CPPFLAGS_path/file.o to adjust preprocessor flags on a file or
directory basis.
The CPPFLAGS_... variable is also folded into CFLAGS during the build.

commit 0edf8b5b2fa0d210ebc4d6da0fd1aceeb7e44e47 breaks
building on a different directory with the O= parameter.
The patch wil fix this issue, generating always asm-offsets.h before
the other targets.

If sed does not support the GNU \w regex extension, build attempts
lead to circular dependency warnings and finally build failure
(crc32.c not found). Build output before and after the patch on
FreeBSD is at:

asm-offsets.h should be auto generated. This patch adds two rules to rules.mk
which makes this possible and removes the rules on imx35.

There are some cases where "make depend" would always run when
entering a directory. This happened when both the $(SRCS) and
$(HOSTSRCS) lists were empty (which is for example typical for the
examples/api/ directory). Avoid this by making sure that a ".depend"
file gets always created, even if empty.

Currently, some of the tools instead set CC to be HOSTCC in order to re-use
some pattern rules -- but this fails when the user overrides CC on the make
command line. Also, the HOSTCFLAGS in tools/Makefile are currently not
being used because config.mk overwrites them.
This patch adds static pattern rules for files that have been requested to
be built with the native compiler using $(HOSTSRCS) and $(HOSTOBJS), and
converts the tools to use them.
It restores easylogo to using the host compiler, which was broken by commit
38d299c2db81bd889c601b5dfc12c4e83ef83333 (if this was an intentional change,
please let me know -- but it seems to be a build tool).
It restores -pedantic and the special flags for darwin and cygwin that were
requested in tools/makefile (but keeps the flags added by config.mk) --
hopefully someone can test this on those platforms. It no longer
conditionalizes -pedantic on not being darwin; it wasn't clear that that was
intentional, and unless there's a real problem it's just inviting people to
contribute non-pedantic patches to those files (I'm not a fan of -pedantic
personally, but if it's on for one platform it should be on for all).
HOST_LDFLAGS is renamed HOSTLDFLAGS for consistency with the previous
HOST_CFLAGS to HOSTCFLAGS rename. A new HOSTCFLAGS_NOPED is made available
for those files which currently cannot be built with -pedantic, and replaces
the old FIT_CFLAGS.
imls now uses the cross compiler properly, rather than by trying to
reconstruct CC using the typoed $(CROSS_COMPILER).
envcrc.c is now dependency-processed unconditionally -- previously it would
be built without being on (HOST)SRCS if CONFIG_ENV_IS_EMBEDDED was not
selected.

The top build system sets up HOSTCFLAGS a bit and exports it, but other
places use HOST_CFLAGS instead. Unify the two as HOSTCFLAGS so that the
values stay in sync.

Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
