6f5e1dc531 powerpc/8xxx: Add support for interactive DDR programming interface
Interactive DDR debugging provides a user interface to view and modify SPD,
DIMM parameters, board options and DDR controller registers before DDR is
initialized. With this feature, developers can fine-tune DDR for board
bringup and other debugging without frequently having to reprogram the flash.

To enable this feature, define CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE in board header
file and set an environment variable to activate it. Syntax:

setenv ddr_interactive on

After reset, U-boot prompts before initializing DDR controllers
FSL DDR>

The available commands are
print      print SPD and intermediate computed data
reset      reboot machine
recompute  reload SPD and options to default and recompute regs
edit       modify spd, parameter, or option
compute    recompute registers from current next_step to end
next_step  shows current next_step
help       this message
go         program the memory controller and continue with u-boot

The first command should be "compute", which reads data from DIMM SPDs and
board options, performs the calculation then stops before setting DDR
controller. A user can use "print" and "edit" commands to view and modify
anything. "Go" picks up from current step with any modification and
compltes the calculation then enables the DDR controller to continue u-boot.
"Recompute" does it over from fresh reading.

1b3e3c4f26 powerpc/mpc8xxx: Enable calculation for fixed DDR chips
We used to have fixed parameters for soldered DDR chips. This patch
introduces CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING to enable calculation based on timing
data from DDR chip datasheet, implemneted in board-specific files or header
files.

6d8962e814 Switch from archive libraries to partial linking
Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils.  As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".

This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.

The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o".  This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.

This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols.  Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

a47a12becf Move arch/ppc to arch/powerpc
As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to
better match the Linux directory structure.

Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in
MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc"
is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with
scripts using this name.
