Add default environment variables needed for Standard Boot enablement as
described in [1]. Also rework the eMMC partition table for Linux boot so
it only has two partitions:
1. EFI System Partition (EFI vars, GRUB efi app, firmware files)
2. rootfs partition (Debian rootfs, /boot, extlinux.conf, boot.scr)
Both partitions are made bootable so that 'bootflow' command can detect
all loader files (rootfs might contain extlinux.conf and boot.scr).
'ldfw' partition is removed too, as ldfw.bin can be loaded from ESP now
(from /EFI/firmware/ldfw.bin).
Android partitons will be added later, once Android boot is actually
enabled for E850-96.
Notes:
- $kernel_comp_addr_r uses the same address (0x88000000) as LDFW
buffer (in board/samsung/e850-96/fw.c), but that's fine, as LDFW
will be copied to another RAM location (Secure World) by SMC
command, so it's only used temporarily on startup
- addition assignment (+=) operation is used for $partitions to avoid
spaces added by newlines, so that $partitions can be used in the
shell with no quotes
Now it's possible to successfully automatically boot Debian rootfs:
=> env default -f -a
=> env save
=> gpt write mmc 0 $partitions
=> reset

LDFW firmware loading can fail, e.g. in case if user forgot to upload
the binary to the appropriate location (/EFI/firmware/ldfw.bin on ESP
partition). Report such errors explicitly, so that the user can notice
it early and take necessary actions. But don't return error code from
board_init() in this case, as LDFW firmware is not mandatory for board
operation and is only required for some features like TRNG.

In case when EFI System Partition is present it can be used to store
firmware binaries, instead of keeping those on separate dedicated
partitions. That simplifies the partition table and makes it more
standard. Rework the firmware loader code to look for LDFW binary at
/EFI/firmware/ldfw.bin on ESP first, and if either the partition or the
file doesn't exist -- fallback to reading it from 'ldfw' partition. This
way backward compatibility can be kept, and Android partition tables
without ESP partition can be handled too.

LDFW is a Loadable Firmware which provides additional security
capabilities in EL3 monitor. For example, True Random Number Generator
(TRNG) block registers can't be accessed from EL1 (where U-Boot and
Linux kernel are running), but it's possible to access TRNG capabilities
via corresponding SMC calls, which in turn are handled by LDFW. To do
so, LDFW firmware has to be loaded first. It's stored on a raw eMMC
partition, so it has to be read into NWD (Normal World) RAM buffer, and
then loaded to SWD (Secure World) memory using the special SMC call to
EL3 monitor program. EL3_MON will load LDFW to SWD memory, more
specifically to the area starting at 0xbf700000 (with size of 7.5 MiB).
That memory area is reserved in device tree, so there shouldn't be any
collisions. After that LDFW becomes functional.
Implement LDFW firmware loading on board init. While at it, fix the
copyright date in header comments, as this board support was actually
added in 2024, not in 2020: it was probably a copy-paste mistake.

Add an environment file for E850-96 board with default eMMC partition
list. It follows the Samsung's partition list used for Android-Q on
Exynos850 devices. It was verified on E850-96 board with:
=> gpt verify mmc 0 "$partitions"
Verify GPT: success!

Use upstream device tree files and bindings. To do so:
- imply (enable) OF_UPSTREAM option for E850-96 target
- point DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE in E850-96 config to upstream dts
- remove now not needed local dts files, binding docs and headers
- update MAINTAINERS and board/samsung/e850-96/MAINTAINERS
correspondingly
Upstream device tree files for Exynos850 SoC and E850-96 board are
pretty much the same as local (removed) ones, so the conversion is
rather straightforward and painless in this case. The appended dts file
(arch/arm/dts/exynos850-e850-96-u-boot.dtsi) stays unchanged.
The only remaining local dt-bindings doc for E850-96 board is
exynos-pmu.yaml. It wasn't removed as it's quite different from Linux
kernel version. Particularly U-Boot local version of exynos-pmu.yaml
describes "samsung,uart-debug-1" property, which is not present in Linux
kernel binding. Later it might be upstreamed to Linux kernel, and once
it's done the U-Boot exynos-pmu.yaml binding can be removed.
No functional change.

Add support for WinLink E850-96 board [1]. It's based on Exynos850 SoC
and follows 96boards specification, so it's compatible with 96boards
mezzanine boards [2]. This patch enables next features:
* Serial console
* USI
* PMU (muxing AP UART path)
* Pinctrl
* Clocks
* Timer (ARMv8 architected)
* Reset control
It's quite a minimal enablement. Features like MMC, USB and Ethernet
will be enabled later.
The rationale for config values is as follows:
* TEXT_BASE = 0xf8800000
That's where BL2 loads the U-Boot payload, so TEXT_BASE must be
exactly this value. Overall the memory map is designed in a way to
keep the bootloader in the upper 128 MiB area of RAM, which is
0xf8000000..0xffffffff. That includes bootloader's code, stack,
data, heap, MMU tables, etc. All the memory below that 128 MiB chunk
can be used for storing boot images (0x80000000..0xf8000000).
* CUSTOM_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR = 0xf8c00000
Just 4 MiB above the TEXT_BASE address, to leave enough space for
U-Boot code and stack itself (grows downwards).
* SYS_LOAD_ADDR = 0x80000000
The beginning of RAM. That's where Linux kernel image must be
loaded.
* SYS_MALLOC_LEN = 0x81f000
8 MiB for malloc() + ENV_SIZE (128 KiB)
* SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN = 0x4000
Increase malloc() pool size available before relocation from 8 KiB
(default) to 16 KiB. Otherwise "alloc space exhausted" message
appears in U-Boot log during board_init_f() stage. There are next
reasons for doing so:
1. Having "bootph-all" flags in some dts nodes leads to binding
those during pre-relocation stage, and binding (DM) uses
dynamic memory allocation
2. clk-exynos850 driver uses CCF clocks, which in turn use dynamic
memory allocation
Device tree file was imported from Linux kernel. All nodes and boot
phase flags added in exynos850-e850-96-u-boot.dtsi are only needed to
enable serial console:
* oscclk -> cmu_top -> cmu_peri: generate UART/USI clocks
* pinctrl_alive and uart1_pins: needed to mux UART pins
* pmu_system_controller: configures AP UART path to uart1_pins
* usi_uart: configures USI block to operate as a UART protocol
* serial_0: enables serial console (UART)
