The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".
This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */ while (*++*argv) {
switch (**argv) {
case 'd':
debug++;
break;
...
default:
usage ();
}
}
}
...
}
The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
error: increment of read-only location '*argv'
N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
char *arg = *argv;
while (*++arg) {
switch (*arg) {
...

Many of the help messages were not really helpful; for example, many
commands that take no arguments would not print a correct synopsis
line, but "No additional help available." which is not exactly wrong,
but not helpful either.
Commit ``Make "usage" messages more helpful.'' changed this
partially. But it also became clear that lots of "Usage" and "Help"
messages (fields "usage" and "help" in struct cmd_tbl_s respective)
were actually redundant.
This patch cleans this up - for example:
Before:
=> help dtt
dtt - Digital Thermometer and Thermostat
Usage:
dtt - Read temperature from digital thermometer and thermostat.
After:
=> help dtt
dtt - Read temperature from Digital Thermometer and Thermostat
Usage:
dtt

Remove command name from all command "usage" fields and update
common/command.c to display "name - usage" instead of
just "usage". Also remove newlines from command usage fields.

This commit gets rid of a huge amount of silly white-space issues.
Especially, all sequences of SPACEs followed by TAB characters get
removed (unless they appear in print statements).
Also remove all embedded "vim:" and "vi:" statements which hide
indentation problems.

This patch introduces the following prefix convention for the
image format handling and bootm related code:
genimg_ - dual format shared code
image_ - legacy uImage format specific code
fit_ - new uImage format specific code
boot_ - booting process related code
Related routines are renamed and a few pieces of code are moved around and
re-grouped.

This patch adds framework for dual format images. Format detection is added
and the bootm controll flow is updated to include cases for new FIT format
uImages.
When the legacy (image_header based) format is detected appropriate
legacy specific handling is invoked. For the new (FIT based) format uImages
dual boot framework has a minial support, that will only print out a
corresponding debug messages. Implementation of the FIT specific handling will
be added in following patches.

This is a compatibility step that allows both the older form
and the new form to co-exist for a while until the older can
be removed entirely.
All transformations are of the form:
Before:
#if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)
After:
#if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT) || defined(CONFIG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)

* Enable USB and IDE support for INKA4x0 board
* Patch by Andrew Dyer, 28 February 2005:
fix ext2load passing an incorrect pointer to get_partition_info()
resulting in load failure for devices other than 0
makes 'ld' to overlook binary objects compatibility.
* Moved $(PLATFORM_LIBS) from the library group (--start-group ...
--end-group) outside of the group. This will make 'ld' to do
_multiple_ search in the library group when resolving symbol
references and do only a _single_ seach in libgcc.a after the group
search.
* Fix stability problems on CPC45 board again.
* Make image detection for diskboot / usbboot / scsiboot more robust
(also check header checksum)
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
- major rework of command structure
(work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
- Splashscreen support
- modem support
- sysmon support
- temperature dependend enabling of LCD
* Allow booting from old "PPCBoot" disk partitions
* Add support for TQM8255 Board / MPC8255 CPU
