grub is no longer maintained: it is stuck at version 0.97 with huge
patches that have no opportunity to be applied upstream, as upstream
has even renamed it grub-legacy.
Besides, it no longer builds correctly with recent binutils versions,
and even the huge patches we could grab from Debian do not help the
slightest.
Since upstream really considers it dead, and there are at least two
alternatives (grub2 and syslinux), just remove grub.
Add a legacy entry.
Remove the test cases as well.

[Thomas:
- Rename the package from atfirmware to arm-trusted-firmware, in order
to match upstream.
- Remove option to apply custom patches. We no longer add such options,
and use the global patch directory instead.
- Rename the repo URL/version options, in order to not be Git specific,
in case support for fetching from other VCS is added later. This is
consistent with how other bootloaders handle this.
- Add license information.
- Do not add a weird dependency on the vexpress-firmware package in
Config.in. Instead, simply use it if it's available. Of course, some
configurations (such as the juno configuration) will fail to build if
vexpress-image is not enabled, but it's the responsibility of the
user to create a config that builds.
- Simplify misc aspects in the .mk file.]

This commit adds a new package for the SCP (System Control Processor)
firmware for the ARM reference platforms. There will most likely be
other SCP firmware provided by other vendors, but they might be provided
in a different form, so we for now create a vendor-specific package
named vexpress-firmware.
Since this firmware is used for booting, we create the package in boot/
and not in package/.
The package simply installs a single pre-built binary file into the
images directory.

[Thomas:
- Rename the package from scpfirmware to vexpress-firmware.
- Add a Config.in prompt for the package.
- Remove the prompt-less Config.in options to select the Git repo and
version. Since we only support the Vexpress firmware, there's no need
for configurability here, so we just use the right Git repo/version
in the .mk file.
- Use $(INSTALL) -D to install the firmware file.
- Add license information.]

This is the first level bootloader for the Actions Semiconductor S500 SoC,
which is used on boards like Roseapple Pi and LeMaker Guitar.
The bootloader performs basic configuration and chain loads u-boot for
futher setup.
This bootloader is unfortunately only available as a binary blob. It gets
configured for a specific board using a binary (32bit x86) tool based on a
.ini file (somewhat similar to sunxi .fex).

Note that this new package, at91bootstrap3, is being added alongside the
existing at91bootstrap. This was suggested by Thomas Petazzoni, whose
comments on the mailing list are quoted below.
For this package, I am not sure we can do a simple version bump. Since
there is (was?) no upstream for AT91Bootstrap 1.x, many
vendors/companies had to maintain their patches on top of AT91Bootstrap
1.x. See for example
board/calao/usb-a9263/at91bootstrap-1.16-usb-a9263.patch. Therefore,
removing AT91Bootstrap 1.x from the tree will prevent those platforms
to work. I know people should upgrade, but AT91Bootstrap 3.x is quite
significantly different, so the porting effort is not that simple.
Therefore, I'm wondering whether we should kee at91bootstrap as it is,
and create a separate package at91bootstrap3 for the 3.x generation.

MXS platforms (imx23 and imx28) are relying on bootlets as their first
stage bootloaders, that can then either start a regular second stage
bootloader or directly a Linux kernel. However, the Makefile allows
only to build u-boot and linux images at the same time, which is
not very convenient as we will more likely use only one of them,
so we need to duplicate a bit what is already done so that we are able
to choose what we want to generate.
thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com:
* Remove incorrect dependency on BR2_PACKAGE_ELFTOSB
* Each board configuration option is for one board, not multiple
boards, so use singular.
* The i.MX28 support is for i.MX28 EVK only, reflect that in the
option prompt and the option name.
* Use 'generic-package' instead of GENTARGETS

Grub 2 has been marked BROKEN in June 2010, and nobody cared to fix it
since then.
At that time, it was marked broken because the build process needed a
Ruby interpreter available on the host, and it's really a pain that
building a bootloader needs such a thing.
I've tried to upgrade the package to Grub2 1.99-rcX, and now it does
not need a Ruby interpreter anymore, but instead requires a tool
called "autogen", which itself needs the Guile Scheme interpreter.
Since we haven't heard any complaints about Grub2 being marked broken,
and since it's such a pain to package, let's get rid of it. Of course,
anybody interested in Grub2 is invited to contribute a working
package.
