[PATCH] move BOARDINFO to globalvar

[PATCH] move BOARDINFO to globalvar

[Sascha Hauer]

The compiletime BOARDINFO string becomes more and more
meaningless with multiboard support. This series adds
a function to be called at boardlevel which initializes
the boardinfo (renamed to 'model') during runtime. This
is also initialized from the devicetree if available.

Also the several boards have a 'global.hostname' variable
which is initialized in the default environment. This is
also replaced by boardlevel code (it can still be overwritten
in the environment). This makes the environment a bit more
uniform across boards.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Sascha Hauer (8):
      globalvar: Allow to set initial value
      Add a global.version variable
      globalvar: move globalvar init to pure_initcall
      remove remaining references of CONFIG_BOARDINFO
      introduce barebox_set_model
      Make hostname available to C Code
      Set model and hostname at boardlevel
      export model as globalvar

[PATCH 2/8] Add a global.version variable

[Sascha Hauer]

So far we only had the version command which is able to print
the barebox version. To make the barebox version available for
scripts add a globalvar for it.

[PATCH 4/8] remove remaining references of CONFIG_BOARDINFO

[Sascha Hauer]

With this all code uses barebox_get_model() and no longer
a compile time generated string.

Also this renames barebox_boardinfo() to barebox_get_model()
since we are going to add the corresponding _set_ function
and 'model' corresponds to the devicetree notion.

[PATCH 7/8] Set model and hostname at boardlevel

[Sascha Hauer]

With multiboard support the compiletime generated BOARDINFO string
gets more and more meaningless. This removes it from Kconfig and
replaces it with a variable that can be set at boardlevel.

Also many boards have a standard setting for the hostname in the
environment. This patch also moves the standard to C code by calling
barebox_set_hostname().

Marvell Armada SoC family comprises more than just 370 and XP. I suggest
to name it "Marvell Armada 370/XP" instead. More Armada SoCs may add to
this init, but right now it's only those two.

No need to change this though.

Also, corresponding changes for Dove are missing (diff below).

Normally this should be a boardname, but the corresponding code where I
could add it does not exist. Once the name comes from the devicetree
this will be solved since the name will come from there then.

So I can change it to "Marvell Armada 370/XP" for now and hope that the
boards will be converted to devicetree when more SoCs are added.

The one Dove board we currently have (Cubox) is converted over to
devicetree, so the boardname will come from there. I could add it for
now and remove it in the merge of the devicetree conversion and this
series.

Ok, I see.

We are going for DT-only anyway, but just squash it in. I guess Thomas
will find some time to work on it soon.

Ok, then drop the diff.

[PATCH 8/8] export model as globalvar

[Sascha Hauer]

The model string is valuable information. Make it available to scripts
with a globalvar.
