2023-09-11cmd: gpt: Add command to swap partition orderJoshua Watt
Adds a command called "gpt transpose" which will swap the order two partition table entries in the GPT partition table (but leaves them pointing to the same locations on disk). This can be useful for swapping bootloaders in systems that use an A/B partitioning scheme where the bootrom is hard coded to look for the bootloader in a specific index in the GPT partition table.

2023-08-25expo: cedit: Support writing settings to CMOS RAMSimon Glass
Add a command to write cedit settings to CMOS RAM so that it can be preserved across a reboot. This uses a simple bit-encoding, where each field has a 'bit position' and a 'bit length' in the schema. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

2023-08-11bootstd: Add a command to read all files for a bootflowSimon Glass
Some bootflows (such as EFI and ChromiumOS) delay reading the kernel until it is needed to boot. This saves time when scanning and avoids needing to allocate memory for something that may never be used. To permit reading of these files, add a new 'bootflow read' command. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2023-08-10bootstd: Allow display of the x86 setup informationSimon Glass
Provide an option to dump this information if available. Move the funciion prototype to the common x86 header. Allow the command line to be left out since 'bootflow info' show this itself and it is not in the correct place in memory until the kernel is actually booted. Fix a badly aligned heading while we are here. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

2023-07-17bootstd: Support automatically setting Linux parametersSimon Glass
Some Linux parameters can be set automatically by U-Boot, if it knows the device being used. For example, since U-Boot knows the serial console being used, it can add parameters for earlycon and console. Add support for this. Note that this is an experimental feature and we will see how useful it turns out to be. It is very handy for ChromeOS, since otherwise it is very difficult to manually determine the UART address or port number, particularly in a script. Provide an example of how this is used with ChromeOS. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>
2023-07-17bootstd: Add support for updating elements of the cmdlineSimon Glass
Add a bootflow command to update the command line more easily. This allows changing a particular parameter rather than editing a very long strings. It is also easier to handle with scripting. The new 'bootflow cmdline' command allows getting and setting single parameters. Fix up the example output while we are here, since there are a few new items.

We use the terms 'distro' to mean extlinux but they are not really the same. 'Distro' could refer to any method of booting a distribution, whereas extlinux is a particular method. Also we sometimes use syslinux, but it is better to use the same term in all cases. Rename distro to syslinux and also update bootstd uses of syslinux to use extlinux instead.

The read and write commands are, deliberately, implemented in the same file, so that they stay feature-compatible (e.g. if someone implements support for "read the full partition, however large that is", that same syntax should also work for write). In order to ensure the documentation for both are similarly kept in sync, and to avoid duplication, document them both in read.rst, and add a stub write.rst referring to read.rst.
