notabug is unreliable, even as a backup.
why, just today, it was offline! all day.
i originally moved libreboot away from notabug,
to codeberg instead, but kept the notabug account
online, and i still push to it when it's online.
however, notabug seems to be in a terminal state
of neglect by its admins, so lbmk should not use it.

i previously added this just for kicks, but it's not

lbmk doesn't even use it (it's disabled).

We don't really need a custom coreboot tree for Chromebooks. I had added
one, because at a cursory glance to the available config/coreboot/board
subdirectories I had the impression that I should. But upstreams have
one tree for every board and I think we should move towards that too.
Move the one important BL31 makefile patch into the default coreboot
patches, update the gru boards' configs by running savedefconfig in the
cros tree and then running olddefconfig in the default tree.

By default U-Boot stores EFI variables in a ubootefi.var file in
whatever EFI System Partition it finds, which would be a FAT filesystem.
I'm occasionally finding out while testing that my ESPs somehow end up
with a corrupted filesystem, and I'm suspecting it's this.
For now, disable storing EFI environment variables on disk so that
U-Boot doesn't try to manipulate the filesystem.
Signed-off-by: Alper Nebi Yasak <alpernebiyasak@gmail.com>
Enable U-Boot commands to manipulate EFI environment storage, to

U-Boot can keep a "copy" framebuffer to read from, for devices where
reading from hardware framebuffer is expensive. This needs the video
driver to support it. The Rockchip video driver doesn't need or support

U-Boot upstream used to have 16KB for EFI variables, and this was
causing problems with shim. Commit f0236acbc6 ("u-boot: Increase EFI
variable buffer size") fixed this by raising it to 32KB in our builds.
It has now been raised to 64K upstream, so raise it here as well.

For Rockchip boards U-Boot tries to build SPI and MMC images that
require an externally built BL31 file to be provided, and the build
fails otherwise. This is not really as configurable as it should be.
In Libreboot, we only care about the build outputs for U-Boot proper.
There is a BL31 built during our coreboot builds, but using that in
U-Boot builds is a chicken-and-egg problem. Building BL31 outside the
coreboot build and passing it to both projects is possible, but needs
work.
For now, stop trying to build these U-Boot-only images as a workaround,
by removing the binman image descriptions from the device-tree sources.
Additionally, disable in our configs the BINMAN_FDT functionality that
allows using these at runtime as it requires them to be present.

Set default U-Boot revision to v2023.01 and rebase patches on top of
that. Another series about 16x32 fonts was merged upstream, so drop some
now-unnecessary patches we had for that. For the video damage tracking
series, switch to the version I'm trying to upstream.
Upstream kconfig status is a bit unstable, so updating configs with
`make oldconfig` would miss important upstream changes, since they rely
on carrying defaults via upstream defconfigs. Update the configs as
such:
- Turn old configs into defconfigs (./update project trees -s u-boot)
- Save the diff from old upstream defconfig (diffconfig $theirs $ours)
- Update U-Boot revision, rebase patches, and clean old trees
- Prepare new U-Boot tree (./update project trees -f u-boot)
- Review the diffconfigs to see if any options were renamed upstream
- Copy over the new upstream defconfigs and apply earlier diff
- Turn new defconfigs into configs (./update project trees -l u-boot)

The "u-boot.bin" file generated by U-Boot builds is a raw binary. When
adding payloads to a CBFS, we need to use ELF files with add-payload
or manually pass the entry point and load address of the payload binary
with add-flat-binary.
We primarily use the "u-boot.elf" which gets build with the REMAKE_ELF
option, as it also has the necessary device-tree binary that U-Boot
usually needs to work. When the option is not set (e.g. for QEMU), we
need to use the "u-boot" file which is an ELF.

With this change, it's still possible to have a single
file at config/git/revisions, but this has been scrapped.
Instead, multiple files now exist under config/git/ with
the same modules declared, but the files are separated
logically. List of files under config/git:
* bios_extract
* biosutilities
* coreboot
* flashrom
* grub (gnulib also defined here)
* me_cleaner
* memtest86plus
* seabios
* serprog (multiple projects defined)
* u-boot
* uefitool
The rationale behind this change is simple: in the future,
we will stop relying on build systems within imported
projects for the import of git submodules. Instead, we
will handle them directly in lbmk.
Additionally, a Linux payload is planned for Libreboot, made
easier by the recent audit (script handle/make/config makes
it easy to integrate Linux, and handle cross-compilers for
userland utilities); a "linux" file under config/git/ could
also define rules for each project besides linux, such as
musl libc, busybox and other utilities.

sha-1 has known collision issues, which may not be readily
exploitable yet (in our context), but we should ideally use
a more secure method for checking file integrity.
therefore, use sha-2 (sha512sum) for checking files. this is
slower than sha-1, but checksum verification is only a minor
part of what lbmk does, so the overall effect on build times
is quite negligible.

it doesn't really make sense for them to be under
blobs/ - nominally, they are blobs, but they are
well-understood data files containing config data,
that is easily parsed by tools like ich9show or
ifdtool (and tools like bincfg or nvmutil)
blobs/ has been re-purposed: this directory no longer
exists in lbmk, but it is created (and on .gitignore)
when needed, by blobutil
thus, the blobs/ directory shall only contain vendor
files, and only those files that libreboot scrubs from
releases. therefore, build/release/src can (and has
been) simplified; it currently copies just the ifd and
gbe files from blobs/, selectively, and this logic is
quite error prone, requiring maintenance. now, the
build/release/src script simply copies config/ (which
only ever contains distributable files) and entirely
ignores the blobs/ directory
the blob download script already creates the required
directory, except for the sch5545 download; this is
now fixed
lbmk code size is slightly smaller, due to this patch
