Hi all,

This is v1 of the rfc [0]

The LMB subsystem was used opportunistically for a number of years.
A while back Sughosh merged it with the EFI subsystem in order to have a
common allocator and avoid subsystems overwriting memory they shouldn't.

This is an initial cleanup of all the crud we gathered over the years.
There's no functional change expected from the patches as they just cleanup
some abstraction functions and rename a few variables to make more
sense.

I plan to make even bigger changes -- e.g I don't see the point of
having *_alloc() and *_reserve() versions of the functions since they mostly
do the same thing and just cause confusion. lmb_alloc_addr_flags()
returning the base address on success makes little sense since we
already *request* the address on the function arguments, etc.
Since this patchset grew enough already, I'd like to get it in
before more refactoring happens.

It's worth noting that although some patches slightly increase the code
size due to an extra flags argument being carried around, the final
result is eventually smaller.

Changes since v1:
- Rebased on top of
  https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20241211021703.2333-1-semen.protsenko@linaro.org/
  https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20241211022550.2995-1-semen.protsenko@linaro.org/
- Converted enum lmb_flags to a u32
- Removed the _flags from all the functions
- Added a patch that removes lmb_align_down()
- Picked up r-b tags. Tom I kept your on patch #3 since I only changed the name
  of the function and assumed you are ok with it.

Ilias Apalodimas (8):
  lmb: Remove lmb_align_down()
  lmb: Move enum lmb_flags to a u32
  lmb: Remove lmb_reserve_flags()
  lmb: Rename free_mem to available_mem
  lmb: Remove lmb_add_region()
  lmb: Remove lmb_alloc_addr_flags()
  lmb: Remove lmb_alloc_base_flags()
  lmb: Rename _lmb_alloc_addr() to lmb_alloc_addr_flags()
