- Add a framework for layered cache maintenance
- separate out SOC specific outer cache maintenance from
maintenance of caches known to CPU
- Add generic ARMv7 cache maintenance operations that affect all
caches known to ARMv7 CPUs. For instance in Cortex-A8 these
opertions will affect both L1 and L2 caches. In Cortex-A9
these will affect only L1 cache
- D-cache operations supported:
- Invalidate entire D-cache
- Invalidate D-cache range
- Flush(clean & invalidate) entire D-cache
- Flush D-cache range
- I-cache operations supported:
- Invalidate entire I-cache
- Add maintenance functions for TLB, branch predictor array etc.
- Enable -march=armv7-a so that armv7 assembly instructions can be
used

This patch adds support for 16 bit NAND devices attached to the
NDFC on ppc4xx processors. Two config entries were added:
CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_16 - Setting this tells the NDFC that a
16 bit device is attached.
CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG - This is for the External Bus
Controller configuration register.
Also, a new ndfc_read_byte() function was added which does not
first convert the data to little endian.
The NAND SPL was also modified to do 16bit bad block testing
when a 16 bit chip is being used.

This includes support for VFD displays which have always been used by
this board only.

We assumed that only a small set of compatiable strings would be needed
to find the PCIe device tree nodes to be fixed up. However on newer
platforms the simple rules no longer work. We need to allow specifying
the PCIe compatiable string for each individual SoC.
We introduce CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT for this purpose and set it if
the default isn't sufficient.

Now that we have the documentation, the code should be changed to reflect

Two new options:
CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
this variable to initialize the extra register.
CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
variable to flush the UART at init time.

Although most IDE controller is designed to be connected to PCI bridge,
there are still some IDE controller support AHB interface for SoC design.
The driver implementation of these IDE-AHB controllers differ from other
IDE-PCI controller, some additional registers and commands access is required
during CMD/DATA I/O. Hence a configuration "CONFIG_IDE_AHB" in cmd_ide.c is
required to be defined to support these kinds of SoC controllers. Such as
Faraday's FTIDE020 series and Global Unichip's UINF-0301.

Use the 'video-mode' environment variable (for Freescale chips that have a
DIU display controller) to designate the full video configuration. Previously,
the DIU driver used the 'monitor' variable, and it was used only to determine
the output video port.
The old definition of the "monitor" environment variable only determines
which video port to use for output. This variable was set to a number (0,
1, or sometimes 2) to specify a DVI, LVDS, or Dual-LVDS port. The
resolution was hard-coded into board-specific code. The Linux command-line
arguments needed to be hard-coded to the proper video definition string.

u-boot environments, esp. when boards are shared across multiple
users, can get pretty large and time consuming to visually parse.
The grepenv command this patch adds can be used in lieu of printenv
to facilitate searching. grepenv works like printenv but limits
its output only to environment strings (variable name and value
pairs) that match the user specified substring.
the following examples are on a board with a 5313 byte environment
that spans multiple screen pages:
Example 1: summarize ethernet configuration:
=> grepenv eth TSEC
etact=FM1@DTSEC2
eth=FM1@DTSEC4
ethact=FM1@DTSEC2
eth1addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:01
eth2addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:02
eth3addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:03
eth4addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:04
eth5addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:05

eth7addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:07
eth8addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:08

=>
Example 2: detect unused env vars:
=> grepenv etact
etact=FM1@DTSEC2
=>
Example 3: reveal hardcoded variables; e.g., for fdtaddr:
=> grepenv fdtaddr
fdtaddr=c00000
nfsboot=setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=$serverip:$rootpath ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname:$netdev:off console=$consoledev,$baudrate $othbootargs;tftp $loadaddr $bootfile;tftp $fdtaddr $fdtfile;bootm $loadaddr - $fdtaddr

=> grep $fdtaddr
fdtaddr=c00000
my_boot=bootm 0x40000000 0x41000000 0x00c00000
my_dtb=tftp 0x00c00000 $prefix/p4080ds.dtb

This patch adds a function getenv_bootm_mapsize() for obtaining the
size of the early mapped region accessible by the kernel during early
boot. It defaults to CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ, or if not defined,
defaults to getenv_bootm_size(), which in turn defaults to the size of
RAM.
getenv_bootm_mapsize() can also be overridden with a "bootm_mapsize"
environmental variable.

Moved the SRIO init out of corenet_ds and into common code for
8xxx/QorIQ processors that have SRIO. We mimic what we do with PCIe
controllers for SRIO.
We utilize the fact that SRIO is over serdes to determine if its
configured or not and thus can setup the LAWs needed for it dynamically.
We additionally update the device tree (to remove the SRIO nodes) if the
board doesn't have SRIO enabled.
Introduced the following standard defines for board config.h:
CONFIG_SYS_SRIO - Chip has SRIO or not
CONFIG_SRIO1 - Board has SRIO 1 port available
CONFIG_SRIO2 - Board has SRIO 2 port available
(where 'n' is the port #)
CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT - virtual address in u-boot
CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS - physical address (for law setup)
CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE - size of window (for law setup)
[ These mimic what we have for PCI and PCIe controllers ]

This adds support for for the PCA9535/PCA9539 family of gpio devices which
have 16 output pins.
To let the driver know which devices are 16-pin it is necessary to define
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH in your board config file. This is used to
create an array of {chip, ngpio} tuples that are used to determine the
width of a particular chip. For backwards compatibility it is assumed that
any chip not defined in CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH has 8 pins.

For ARM systems, before ELF relocation was introduced,
CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT coul be used to prevent *COPYING* the
U-Boot image from whereever it was loaded to it's link address
(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE). The name was badly chosen, as no relocation
was performed at all, it was just a memcpy().
With ELF relocation, this does not work like that any more, and
related boards need to be fixed anyway. So don't keep this relict any
longer.

Motivation:
* Old environment code used a pessimizing implementation:
- variable lookup used linear search => slow
- changed/added variables were added at the end, i. e. most
frequently used variables had the slowest access times => slow
- each setenv() would calculate the CRC32 checksum over the whole
environment block => slow
* "redundant" envrionment was locked down to two copies
* No easy way to implement features like "reset to factory defaults",
or to select one out of several pre-defined (previously saved) sets
of environment settings ("profiles")
* No easy way to import or export environment settings
======================================================================
API Changes:
- Variable names starting with '#' are no longer allowed
I didn't find any such variable names being used; it is highly
recommended to follow standard conventions and start variable names
with an alphanumeric character
- "printenv" will now print a backslash at the end of all but the last
lines of a multi-line variable value.
Multi-line variables have never been formally defined, allthough
there is no reason not to use them. Now we define rules how to deal
with them, allowing for import and export.
- Function forceenv() and the related code in saveenv() was removed.
At the moment this is causing build problems for the only user of
this code (schmoogie - which has no entry in MAINTAINERS); may be
fixed later by implementing the "env set -f" feature.
Inconsistencies:
- "printenv" will '\\'-escape the '\n' in multi-line variables, while
"printenv var" will not do that.
======================================================================
Advantages:
- "printenv" output much better readable (sorted)
- faster!
- extendable (additional variable properties can be added)
- new, powerful features like "factory reset" or easy switching
between several different environment settings ("profiles")
Disadvantages:
- Image size grows by typically 5...7 KiB (might shrink a bit again on
systems with redundant environment with a following patch series)
======================================================================
Implemented:
- env command with subcommands:
- env print [arg ...]
same as "printenv": print environment
- env set [-f] name [arg ...]
same as "setenv": set (and delete) environment variables
["-f" - force setting even for read-only variables - not
implemented yet.]
- end delete [-f] name
not implemented yet
["-f" - force delete even for read-only variables]
- env save
same as "saveenv": save environment
- env export [-t | -b | -c] addr [size]
export internal representation (hash table) in formats usable for
persistent storage or processing:
-t: export as text format; if size is given, data will be
padded with '\0' bytes; if not, one terminating '\0'
will be added (which is included in the "filesize"
setting so you can for exmple copy this to flash and
keep the termination).
-b: export as binary format (name=value pairs separated by
'\0', list end marked by double "\0\0")
-c: export as checksum protected environment format as
used for example by "saveenv" command
addr: memory address where environment gets stored
size: size of output buffer
With "-c" and size is NOT given, then the export command will
format the data as currently used for the persistent storage,
i. e. it will use CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE as output block size and
prepend a valid CRC32 checksum and, in case of resundant
environment, a "current" redundancy flag. If size is given, this
value will be used instead of CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE; again, CRC32
checksum and redundancy flag will be inserted.
With "-b" and "-t", always only the real data (including a
terminating '\0' byte) will be written; here the optional size
argument will be used to make sure not to overflow the user
provided buffer; the command will abort if the size is not
sufficient. Any remainign space will be '\0' padded.
On successful return, the variable "filesize" will be set.
Note that filesize includes the trailing/terminating '\0'
byte(s).
Usage szenario: create a text snapshot/backup of the current
settings:
=> env export -t 100000
=> era ${backup_addr} +${filesize}
=> cp.b 100000 ${backup_addr} ${filesize}
Re-import this snapshot, deleting all other settings:
=> env import -d -t ${backup_addr}
- env import [-d] [-t | -b | -c] addr [size]
import external format (text or binary) into hash table,
optionally deleting existing values:
-d: delete existing environment before importing;
otherwise overwrite / append to existion definitions
-t: assume text format; either "size" must be given or the
text data must be '\0' terminated
-b: assume binary format ('\0' separated, "\0\0" terminated)
-c: assume checksum protected environment format
addr: memory address to read from
size: length of input data; if missing, proper '\0'
termination is mandatory
- env default -f
reset default environment: drop all environment settings and load
default environment
- env ask name [message] [size]
same as "askenv": ask for environment variable
- env edit name
same as "editenv": edit environment variable
- env run
same as "run": run commands in an environment variable
======================================================================
TODO:
- drop default env as implemented now; provide a text file based
initialization instead (eventually using several text files to
incrementally build it from common blocks) and a tool to convert it
into a binary blob / object file.
- It would be nice if we could add wildcard support for environment
variables; this is needed for variable name auto-completion,
but it would also be nice to be able to say "printenv ip*" or
"printenv *addr*"
- Some boards don't link any more due to the grown code size:
DU405, canyonlands, sequoia, socrates.

- Dropping forceenv() causes build problems on schmoogie
=> cc: Sergey Kubushyn <ksi@koi8.net>
- Build tested on PPC and ARM only; runtime tested with NOR and NAND
flash only => needs testing!!
