[PATCH 0/9] Unify SoC UID and machine hashable data

SoC UID and machine hashable data are both based on the same data but
are both registered at different places with different functions.
This series aims to unify this by adding a function which uses the
passed SoC UID to provide it to the environment and also to register
machine hashable data.
The SoC ID code on i.MX is quite a mess and this series cleans this
up a bit. We have drivers/nvmem/ocotp.c which reads the SoC ID and
provides machine hashable data and we have drivers/soc/imx/soc-imx8m.c
which implements a SoC driver and exposes soc0.serial_number, but
the SoC driver only works on i.MX8M which is a subset of the SoCs
supported by the ocotp driver.
Furthermore I realized that on i.MX8MP the SoC ID is 128bit whereas
we currently only use 64bit which additionally read from the wrong
registers. This series fixes this, but doing so will change the
machine_id passed to Linux which may break userspace, so this change
might need some discussion. Maybe we need a way to keep the previous
machine_id for already rolled out devices.

introduce SoC UID
soc: imx8mp: Soc ID is 128bit
ARM: i.MX6: print leading zero for SoC ID
nvmem: bsec: call barebox_set_soc_uid()
nvmem: imx-ocotp-ele: call barebox_set_soc_uid()
nvmem: ocotp: Fix SoC ID reading for i.MX8MP
nvmem: imx-ocotp: call barebox_set_soc_uid()
soc: imx8m: register SoC UID
Documentation: migration: add i.MX8MP SoC UID change note
