The only thing U-Boot has been applying on top was to deal with not
sourcing include/config/auto.conf but instead using awk to extract the
right value. Commit (1) did a very similar thing upstream, so we no
longer need to do that. However, upstream then went a step further (2)
and changed the convention for what goes into auto.conf, so RHS no
longer contain double-quotes. That commit thus changed the sed pattern
to no longer match those quotes, but as U-Boot has not yet adopted
that change, we have to deal with that. In order to be a little
forward-compatible, I did that in a way that should work both ways:
# version string from CONFIG_LOCALVERSION
-config_localversion=$(sed -n 's/^CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=\(.*\)$/\1/p' include/config/auto.conf)
+config_localversion=$(sed -n 's/^CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=\(.*\)$/\1/p' include/config/auto.conf | tr -d '"')
Furthermore, (3) now requires that there is an appropriate
KERNELVERSION environment variable set. One way to deal with that
would be to just modify the script to use UBOOTVERSION instead, but
for now I've instead opted to let the Makefile provide
KERNELVERSION=$(UBOOTVERSION) to keep the setlocalversion changes
minimal.
That variable is further put to use in (4). Note that the logic for
mapping *VERSION -> [upstream annotated tag to look for] works
unchanged in U-Boot for the current versioning scheme 20XX.YY(-rcN)?.
My motivation for wanting to do this sync is to get (4) and (5), in
order to get the setlocalversion output both more predictable and
consistent across different build environments, i.e. independent of
random local .gitconfig settings, total number of git objects and/or
existence of unrelated tags (possibly from some tracked fork).
