SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line) and with slightly different comment styles than us. In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style. This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag and have introduced one. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com> 6 years ago			`# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+`
Kbuild: introduce Makefile in arch/$ARCH/ Introduce a Makefile under arch/$ARCH/ and include it in the top Makefile (similar to Linux kernel). This allows further refactoringi like moving architecture-specific code out of global makefiles, deprecating config variables (CPU, CPUDIR, SOC) or deprecating arch/$ARCH/config.mk. In contrary to Linux kernel, U-Boot defines the ARCH variable by Kconfig, thus the arch Makefile can only included conditionally after the top config.mk.

arc: introduce "mdbtrick" target MetaWare debugger (MDB) is still used as a primary tool for interaction with target via JTAG. Moreover some very advanced features are not yet implemented in GDB for ARC (and not sure if they will be implemnted sometime soon given complexity and rare need for those features for common user). So if we're talking about development process when U-Boot is loaded in target memory not by low-level boot-loader but manually through JTAG chances are high developer uses MDB for it. But MDB doesn't support PIE (position-independent executable) - it will refuse to even start - that means no chance to load elf contents on target. Then the only way to load U-Boot in MDB is to fake it by: 1. Reset PIE flag in ELF header This is simpe - on attempt to open elf MDB checks header and if it doesn't match its expectation refuces to use provided elf. 2. Strip all debug information from elf If (1) is done then MDB will open elf but on parsing of elf's debug info it will refuse to process due to debug info it cannot understand (symbols with PIE relocation). Even though it could be done manually (I got it documented quite a while ago here http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/ARCNotes) having this automated way is very convenient. User may build U-Boot that will be loaded on target via MDB saying "make mdbtrick". Then if we now apply the manipulation MDB will happily start and will load all required sections into the target. Indeed there will be no source-level debug info available. But still MDB will do its work on showing disassembly, global symbols, registers, accessing low-level debug facilities etc. As a summary - this is a pretty dirty hack but it simplifies life a lot for us ARc developers.
