[PATCH 00/10] smbios: Enhancements for more flexibility

[Simon Glass]

This series includes various patches to allow more flexibility as to where
the data for SMBIOS tables comes from:

- introduces some standard sysinfo options as a source, e.g. to read
   strapping pins to determine the board revision
- allows the U-Boot version number to be included
- allows the version number to be provided programmatically, e.g. to
   support the build system adding information after U-Boot is built

Documentation is added for how to obtain version information.

The code is also refactored a little to make it easier to maintain.

[PATCH 01/10] README: Add doumentation for version information

[Simon Glass]

There are quite a few available version options in U-Boot. Add a list of
the available Makefile variables and #defines, along with examples.

 		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
 		200 ms.
 
+- Version identification:
+
+		U-Boot releases are named by year and patch level, for example
+		2020.10 means the release that came out in October 2020.
+		Release candidates are tagged every few weeks as the project
+		heads to the next release. So 2020.10-rc1 was the first
+		release candidate (RC), tagged soon after 2020.07 was released.
+
+		See here for full details:
+		  https://www.denx.de/wiki/view/U-Boot/ReleaseCycle
+
+		Within the build system, various Makefile variables are created,
+		making use of VERSION, PATCHLEVEL and EXTRAVERSION defined at
+		the top of 'Makefile'. There is also SUBLEVEL available for
+		downstream use. See also CONFIG_IDENT_STRING.
+
+		Some variables end up in a generated header file at
+		include/generated/version_autogenerated.h and can be accessed
+		from C source by including <version.h>
+
+		The following are available:
+
+		  UBOOTRELEASE (Makefile)
+			  Full release version as a string. If this is not a
+			  tagged release, it also includes the number of commits
+			  since the last tag as well as the the git hash. If
+			  there are uncommitted changes a '-dirty' suffix is
+			  added too.
+			  This is written by scripts/setlocalversion
+			  (maintained by Linux) to include/config/uboot.release
+			  and ends up in the UBOOTRELEASE Makefile variable.
+
+			  Examples:
+			     2020.10-rc3
+			     2021.01-rc5-00248-g60dd854f3ba-dirty
+
+		  PLAIN_VERSION (string #define)
+			  This is UBOOTRELEASE but available in C source.
+
+			  Examples:
+			     2020.10
+			     2021.01-rc5-00248-g60dd854f3ba-dirty
+
+		  UBOOTVERSION (Makefile)
+			  This holds just the first three components of
+			  UBOOTRELEASE (i.e. not the git hash, etc.)
+
+			  Examples:
+			     2020.10
+			     2021.01-rc5
+
+		  U_BOOT_VERSION (string #define)
+			  "U-Boot " followed by UBOOTRELEASE, for example:
+
+			     U-Boot 2020.10
+			     U-Boot 2021.01-rc5
+
+			  This is used as part of the banner string when U-Boot
+			  starts.
+
+		  U_BOOT_VERSION_STRING (string #define)
+			  U_BOOT_VERSION followed by build-time information
+			  and CONFIG_IDENT_STRING.
+
+			  Examples:
+			     U-Boot 2020.10 (Jan 06 2021 - 08:50:36 -0700)
+                             U-Boot 2021.01-rc5-00248-g60dd854f3ba-dirty (Jan 06 2021 - 08:50:36 -0700) for spring
+
+		Build date/time is also included. See the generated file
+		include/generated/timestamp_autogenerated.h for the available
+		fields. For example:
+
+		  #define U_BOOT_DATE "Jan 06 2021"     (US format only)
+		  #define U_BOOT_TIME "08:50:36"        (24-hour clock)
+		  #define U_BOOT_TZ "-0700"             (Time zone in hours)
+		  #define U_BOOT_DMI_DATE "01/06/2021"  (US format only)
+		  #define U_BOOT_BUILD_DATE 0x20210106  (hex yyyymmdd format)
+		  #define U_BOOT_EPOCH 1609948236
+
+		The Epoch is the number of seconds since midnight on 1/1/70.
+		Every time you build U-Boot this will update based on the time
+		on your build machine. See 'Reproducible builds' if you want to
+		avoid that.

[PATCH 02/10] Makefile: Provide numeric versions

[Simon Glass]

For SMBIOS we want to store the numeric version numbers in the tables. It
does not make sense to parse the strings. Instead, add new #defines with
the version and patchlevel.

[PATCH 03/10] smbios: Move smbios_write_type to the C file

[Simon Glass]

This type is not used outside the smbios.c file so there is no need for it
to be in the header file. Move it.

[PATCH 04/10] smbios: Use char consistently for the eos member

[Simon Glass]

At present a few of the structs use u8 instead of char. This is a string,
so char is better. Update them.

[PATCH 05/10] smbios: Set BIOS release version

[Simon Glass]

We may as well include the U-Boot release information in the type-0 table
since it is designed for that purpose.

U-Boot uses release versions based on the year and month. The year cannot
fit in a byte, so drop the century.

[PATCH 06/10] smbios: Use a struct to keep track of context

[Simon Glass]

At present we pass the ofnode to each function. We also pass the 'eos'
pointer for adding new strings. We don't track the current end of the
string table, so have smbios_string_table_len() to find that.

The code can be made more efficient if it keeps information in a
context struct. This also makes it easier to add more features.

As a first step, switch the ofnode parameter to be a context pointer.
Update smbios_add_prop() at the same time to avoid changing the same
lines of code in consecutive patches.

[PATCH 07/10] smbios: Drop the eos parameter

[Simon Glass]

We can store this in the context and avoid passing it to each function.
This makes it easier to follow and will also allow keeping track of the
end of the string table (in future patches).

Add an 'eos' field to the context and create a function to set it up.

[PATCH 09/10] smbios: Add more options for the BIOS version string

[Simon Glass]

At present the version string is obtained from PLAIN_VERSION. Some boards
may want to configure this using the device tree, since the build system
can more easily insert things there after U-Boot itself is built. Add this
option to the code.

Also in some cases the version needs to be generated programmatically,
such as when it is stored elsewhere in the ROM and must be read first.
To handle this, keep a pointer around so that it can be updated later.
This works by storing the last string in the context, since it is easier
than passing out a little-used extra parameter.

Provide a function to update the version string.

[PATCH 10/10] smbios: Allow a few values to come from sysinfo

[Simon Glass]

While static configuration is useful it cannot cover every case. Sometimes
board revisions are encoded in resistor straps and must be read at
runtime.

The easiest way to provide this information is via sysinfo, since the
board can then provide a driver to read whatever is needed.

Add some standard sysinfo options for this, and use them to obtain the
required information.
