Add some documentation and a new flag so that we can safely enabled using
the ofnode interface to write to the device tree.
Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
At present ofnode only works with a single device tree, for the most part.
This is the control FDT used by U-Boot.
When booting an OS we may obtain a different device tree and want to
modify it. Add some initial support for this into the ofnode API.
Note that we don't permit aliases in this other device tree, since the
of_access implementation maintains a list of aliases collected at
start-up. Also, we don't need aliases to do fixups in the other FDT. So
make sure that flat tree and live tree processing are consistent in this
area.

The unflattening algorithm results in a single block of memory being
allocated for the whole tree. When writing new properties, these are
allocated new memory outside that block. When the block is freed, the
allocated properties remain.
Document how this works and the potential memory leak, as well as
mentioning that updating the livetree is actually supported now.

Start by elaborating on what some of our constraints tend to be with
image location values, and document where these external constraints
can come from. Provide a new subsection, an example based on the TI
ARMv7 OMAP2PLUS families of chips, that gives sample values and explains
why we use these particular values. This is based on what is in
include/configs/ti_armv7_common.h as of fb3ad9bd92 ("TI: Add, use a
DEFAULT_LINUX_BOOT_ENV environment string") as this contains just the
values referenced in this document now and not some of the further
additions that are less generic.

When CONFIG_LOG is activated, if LOG_DEBUG is defined in a file and
DEBUG is not defined the trace with debug() macro are not displayed,
because the parameter cond : _DEBUG = 0 is checked in debug_cond().
With this patch the define DEBUG, used to force the trace generated by
debug() macro, is linked with the define LOG_DEBUG, used to force the
trace generated by other macros (log_debug, dev_dbg, pr_debug).
We only need to define LOG_DEBUG in a file to activate all the
traces generated by any U-Boot debug macro, as it is described in

A common external watchdog circuit is kept alive by triggering a short
pulse on the reset pin. This patch adds support for this use case, while
making the algorithm configurable in the devicetree.
The "linux,wdt-gpio" driver being modified is based off the equivalent
driver in the Linux kernel, which provides support for this algorithm.
This patch brings parity to this driver, and is kept aligned with
the functionality and devicetree configuration in the kernel.
It should be noted that this adds a required property named 'hw_algo'
to the devicetree binding, following suit with the kernel. I'm happy to
make this backward-compatible if preferred.

in quite some time to reflect how the process has been functioning for

Second, and more overarching, reword much of the section. This expands

are expected to do their best to test the changes and ask for help when
needed, as well as that pull requests are expected in a timely manner.

directly (without a separate file) I have added documentation for it. If
the configuration points to a separate file, I have referenced that file's
