This series adds support for running U-Boot in snagboot mode on
Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms, targeting the Lemans-EVK board.
In snagboot mode, XBL loads U-Boot directly without initializing
PSCI firmware or populating the Command DB. U-Boot then enters
fastboot immediately, enabling partition flashing for manufacturing
and recovery use cases.
Patch 1 changes SYSRESET_PSCI from 'select' to 'imply' so it can
be disabled on platforms where PSCI firmware is unavailable.
Patch 2 guards show_psci_version() and qcom_psci_fixup() with
CONFIG_ARM_SMCCC to prevent build failures when SMCCC is disabled.
Patch 3 disables the MMU and invalidates TLBs at the earliest entry
point to clear stale page tables left by previous bootloader
before U-Boot sets up its own MMU.
Patch 4 adds QCOM_COMMAND_DB_OPTIONAL to allow the CMD DB driver to
bind successfully when CMD DB data is not populated by XBL, logging
a warning instead of failing.
Patch 5 adds qcom_lemans_snagboot_defconfig for Lemans-EVK, based
on qcom_defconfig with snagboot-specific settings: SCSI-backed
environment, optional CMD DB, PSCI reset disabled, and a bootcmd
that auto-enters fastboot over USB with zero boot delay.
Patch 6 adds the new defconfig to the ARM SNAPDRAGON section in
MAINTAINERS.
