[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 0/5] Implement "fastboot flash" for eMMC

[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 0/5] Implement "fastboot flash" for eMMC

[Steve Rae]

This series implements the "fastboot flash" command for eMMC devices.
It supports both raw and sparse images.

NOTES:
- the support for the "fastboot flash" command is enabled with CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
- the support for eMMC is enabled with CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
- (future) the support for NAND would be enabled with CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_NAND(???)

This has been tested on ARMv7.

----
While we are struggling with the "sparse_format" copyright and licensing issues,
can we accept the first three patches?
Thanks, Steve

Changes in v4:
- rearranged this patchset so that "sparse_format.h" can be dropped (if we cannot
  resolve the copyright/licensing issues)
- update mmc_get_dev(...) to get_dev("mmc",....)
- update printf() to puts() where applicable
- update debug string as per feedback
- rearranged "sparse format" support in this patchset, in order to isolate...

Changes in v3:
- remove most references to 'mmc',
  which leaves only one mmc specific function: mmc_get_dev()

Changes in v2:
- split large function into three
- improved handling of response messages
- additional partition size checking when writing sparse image
- update README.android-fastboot file
- new in v2

I suspect that the "sparse image" handling (ie. the "while (remaining_chunks)" loop)
has been implemented elsewhere -- I need help finding the original code to determine
any licensing issues....

I'll just wait for Tom's comments on 4/5 and 5/5 and will see then. The 1-3/5 
look OK.

Well I agree Apache license is not compatible, but how can we proceed here for 
the good for U-Boot project and happiness of all involved parties here ? Aka. 
what do we do now to make the best of the contribution ?

I used the gnu page back then. Apache2 is compatible with GPLv3 but not
with GPLv2 [0]. Some parts of the code I played around (the android
image header file for instance) was under the Apache2 license and in
another git tree under the two-clause BSD license which was compatible
with GPLv2 [1].
So the argument about incompatible licenses is valid here. Should
u-boot switch to GPLv3 you need to hunt down that file again and this
time with the apache2 license :)

I agree. Is there a version of this file with BSD license on it ? Then that'd be 
a problem solved, right ? The other option would be to ask Google to release it 
under BSD license, but I don't know how easy that would be.

I have not found anything other than the Apache 2 license (yet).
If anyone can find anything, please let me know!

We definitely need GPLv2 compatibility.

You would have to rewrite the major part of U-Boot or to cripple it
to uselessness if you try to release it under GPLv3. I cannot see
anybody investing any efforts in that direction; all these threads
about a potential GPLv3 switch are just a hollow scarecrow.

It seems clear to me that GPLv3 is not an acceptable solution for
developers, vendors, and end users simultanously.  When I ask for
GPLv2+ I hope that some later version of GPL may find better general
support.

Wolfgang Denk

no, this was nicely formatted in my mail editor. Just wanted to point out
you forgot a "not". You mentioned "to cripple it" you more then like ment
"to _not_ cripple it". But the whitespace got lost along the way.

No, I did NOT forget a "not".

There is an awful lot of GPLv2 (V2 only) code in U-Boot.  Many of the
most interesting features thaty have been imported from the Linux
kernel are GPLv2 only. Either you have to rewrite all this code.  I
don't see any volunteers for that in the community, and neither I see
any commercial interest for that.  So alternatively you would have to
remove resp. disable in the configuration all such code - which would
cripple U-Boot, as it would remove a lot of really useful functionali-
ty, rendering it more or less useless for many practical use cases.

All people claiming "U-Boot will go GPLv3 tomorrow" are just
spreading FUD.

OK, so we need a GPLv2-compatible header file. That's the conclusion.

Can we get one or how shall we proceed in the opposite case please?

Please be more explicit next time, really. It can be difficult to find the 
balance between keeping the mail short and being explicit, but usually it's 
sufficient to read the mail after a few minutes and see if you'd understand
the message yourself if you got one as such.

woould be best.

I was talking to Hans about this yesterday (and who was dropped from the CC for 
some reason) and it turns out the easy way out here is to just reimplement the
