+Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
+-----------------------------------
+
+The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
+loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
+This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
+are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
+within that device.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
+ The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
+ meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
+ is also specified.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
+ The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
+ has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
+ might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
+ local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
+ Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
+ normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
+ virtual address in NOR flash.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
+ Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
+ CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
+ Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
+ device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
+ Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
+ device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
