54841ab50c Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.
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) {
			...

d1c3b27525 ppc4xx: Big cleanup of PPC4xx defines
This patch cleans up multiple issues of the 4xx register (mostly
DCR, SDR, CPR, etc) definitions:

- Change lower case defines to upper case (plb4_acr -> PLB4_ACR)
- Change the defines to better match the names from the
  user's manuals (e.g. cprpllc -> CPR0_PLLC)
- Removal of some unused defines

Please test this patch intensive on your PPC4xx platform. Even though
I tried not to break anything and tested successfully on multiple
4xx AMCC platforms, testing on custom platforms is recommended.

a89c33db96 General help message cleanup
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

2fb2604d5c Command usage cleanup
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.

087dfdb79b ppc4xx: Consolidate some of the 405 and 440 macros/structs into 4xx
This patch moves some common 4xx macros and the PPC405_SYS_INFO/
PPC440_SYS_INFO structure into the common ppc4xx.h header.

Lot's of other macros are good candidates to be consolidated this way
in the future.
