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.

This new command can dump all device resources associated to
each device. The fields in every line shows:
- The address of the resource
- The size of the resource
- The name of the release function
- The stage in which the resource has been acquired (BIND/PROBE)
Currently, there is no driver using devres, but if such drivers are
implemented, the output of this command should look like this:
=> dm devres
- root_driver
- soc
- extbus
- serial@54006800

bfb54440 (4 byte) devm_kmalloc_release PROBE
bfb54460 (4 byte) devm_kmalloc_release PROBE
- serial@54006900
bfb54270 (8 byte) devm_kmalloc_release BIND
- gpio@55000000
- i2c@58780000

devm_kmalloc() is identical to kmalloc() except that the memory
allocated with it is managed and will be automatically released
when the device is removed/unbound.
Likewise for the other variants.

In U-Boot's driver model, memory is basically allocated and freed
in the core framework. So, low level drivers generally only have
to specify the size of needed memory with .priv_auto_alloc_size,
.platdata_auto_alloc_size, etc. Nevertheless, some drivers still
need to allocate/free memory on their own in case they cannot
statically know the necessary memory size. So, I believe it is
reasonable enough to port Devres into U-boot.
Devres, which originates in Linux, manages device resources for each
device and automatically releases them on driver detach. With devres,
device resources are guaranteed to be freed whether initialization
fails half-way or the device gets detached.
The basic idea is totally the same to that of Linux, but I tweaked
it a bit so that it fits in U-Boot's driver model.
In U-Boot, drivers are activated in two steps: binding and probing.
Binding puts a driver and a device together. It is just data
manipulation on the system memory, so nothing has happened on the
hardware device at this moment. When the device is really used, it
is probed. Probing initializes the real hardware device to make it
really ready for use.
So, the resources acquired during the probing process must be freed
when the device is removed. Likewise, what has been allocated in
binding should be released when the device is unbound. The struct
devres has a member "probe" to remember when the resource was
allocated.
CONFIG_DEBUG_DEVRES is also supported for easier debugging.
If enabled, debug messages are printed each time a resource is
allocated/freed.
