bootstd: make it possible to use tftp for netboot with standardboot
Add the option to load the bootscript with the tftp command (static IP)
instead of the dhcp command (dynamic IP). For this a new function
tftpb_run similar to dhcp_run, is needed. The selection of which command
to use can be done with the ip_dyn environment variable, which can be
set to yes or no. The ip_dyn variable was chosen as it is already in use
on the imx platforms.
Also edit the bootstd doc.

phy: ti: phy-j721e-wiz: Allow reinitialization when SERDES is pre-configured
Move the SERDES configuration check after clock and reset initialization
and change it from a hard failure to a skip of WIZ initialization. This
allows the driver to probe successfully when the SERDES has been
pre-configured by a previous boot stage (e.g., ROM or SPL).
This approach aligns with how the Linux kernel handles pre-configured
SERDES, where the driver gracefully skips reinitialization rather than
failing to probe.
Add Logical Machine Management(LMM) protocol which is intended for boot,
shutdown, and reset of other logical machines (LM). It is usually used to
allow one LM to manager another used as an offload or accelerator engine.
Following Linux Kernel, created a separate folder for holding vendor

failing e.g 'make tests', 'make qcheck' etc, which calls a bash script

The reason is that the internal 'sub_make_done' variable of the makefile
was set after the first pass and the output dir was never evaluated
properly. Reset the variable value if we are executing any of these

Merge patch series "boot: Support priority for global bootmeths"
Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> says:
At present global bootmeths always run first, before all other
bootmeths. Optimisations in the code take advantage of this, putting
them at the end, so they can be used once and then forgotten.
In some cases it is useful to run global bootmeths later in the boot.
For example, the EFI-bootmgr bootmeth may itself scan devices and the
network, so running it first can hold up the boot significantly for
boards not actually relying on EFI-bootmgr to boot.
This series introduces a new field in global bootmeths which indicates
the priority, using the same scheme as is used with bootdev hunters.
Thus it is possible to insert the EFI-bootmgr bootmeth just before the
hunter for network bootdevs is invoked.
Despite the simplicity of the concept and the relatively small series,
this is a fairly significant enhancement. It is also quite tricky to
implement, largely due to the way the original code was written, with
global bootmeths being a small, size-optimised add-on to the original
bootstd implementation.
For now we only allow each global bootmeth to run at most once, but this
implementation is written in a way that we could relax that if needed.
Then the bootmeth itself could decide whether to run at any particular
point in the bootflow iteration.

boot: Run the EFI bootmgr just before network devices
At present the EFI bootmgr scans all devices in the system before
deciding which one to boot. Ideally it would use the bootstd iterator
for this, but in the meantime, give it a lower priority, so it runs
just before the network devices.
Note that if there are no hunted network devices hunted, then it will
run at the end, after all bootdevs are exhausted. In other words, it
will always run.

boot: Run global bootmeths after all bootdevs are exhausted
When there are no more bootdevs we should still go through the global
bootmeths, since some may not have yet been used, if their priority has
not yet come up.
Add a final check for this at the end of the iterator.
Update the documentation to match the new behaviour of global bootmeths.

boot: Don't change the method count after global bootmeths

count alone.
