A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script. Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.
However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering. The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file. This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.
This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified. Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)
I change this to:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))
This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.

Most of the bss initialization loop increments 4 bytes
at a time. And the loop end is checked for an 'equal'
condition. Make the bss end address aligned by 4, so
that the loop will end as expected.

This patch changes the return type of initdram() from long int to phys_size_t.
This is required for a couple of reasons: long int limits the amount of dram
to 2GB, and u-boot in general is moving over to phys_size_t to represent the
size of physical memory. phys_size_t is defined as an unsigned long on almost
all current platforms.
This patch *only* changes the return type of the initdram function (in
include/common.h, as well as in each board's implementation of initdram). It
does not actually modify the code inside the function on any of the platforms;
platforms which wish to support more than 2GB of DRAM will need to modify
their initdram() function code.
Build tested with MAKEALL for ppc, arm, mips, mips-el. Booted on powerpc
MPC8641HPCN.

This patch gets rid of the spi_chipsel table and adds a handful of new
functions that makes the SPI layer cleaner and more flexible.
Instead of the spi_chipsel table, each board that wants to use SPI
gets to implement three hooks:
* spi_cs_activate(): Activates the chipselect for a given slave
* spi_cs_deactivate(): Deactivates the chipselect for a given slave
* spi_cs_is_valid(): Determines if the given bus/chipselect
combination can be activated.
Not all drivers may need those extra functions however. If that's the
case, the board code may just leave them out (assuming they know what
the driver needs) or rely on the linker to strip them out (assuming
--gc-sections is being used.)
To set up communication parameters for a given slave, the driver needs
to call spi_setup_slave(). This returns a pointer to an opaque
spi_slave struct which must be passed as a parameter to subsequent SPI
calls. This struct can be freed by calling spi_free_slave(), but most
driver probably don't want to do this.
Before starting one or more SPI transfers, the driver must call
spi_claim_bus() to gain exclusive access to the SPI bus and initialize
the hardware. When all transfers are done, the driver must call
spi_release_bus() to make the bus available to others, and possibly
shut down the SPI controller hardware.
spi_xfer() behaves mostly the same as before, but it now takes a
spi_slave parameter instead of a spi_chipsel function pointer. It also
got a new parameter, flags, which is used to specify chip select
behaviour. This may be extended with other flags in the future.
This patch has been build-tested on all powerpc and arm boards
involved. I have not tested NIOS since I don't have a toolchain for it
installed, so I expect some breakage there even though I've tried
fixing up everything I could find by visual inspection.
I have run-time tested this on AVR32 ATNGW100 using the atmel_spi and
DataFlash drivers posted as a follow-up. I'd like some help testing
other boards that use the existing SPI API.
But most of all, I'd like some comments on the new API. Is this stuff
usable for everyone? If not, why?
Changed in v4:
- Build fixes for various boards, drivers and commands
- Provide common struct spi_slave definition that can be extended by
drivers
- Pass a struct spi_slave * to spi_cs_activate and spi_cs_deactivate
- Make default bus and mode build-time configurable
- Override default SPI bus ID and mode on mx32ads and imx31_litekit.
Changed in v3:
- Add opaque struct spi_slave for controller-specific data associated
with a slave.
- Add spi_claim_bus() and spi_release_bus()
- Add spi_free_slave()
- spi_setup() is now called spi_setup_slave() and returns a
struct spi_slave
- soft_spi now supports four SPI modes (CPOL|CPHA)
- Add bus parameter to spi_setup_slave()
- Convert the new i.MX32 SPI driver
- Convert the new MC13783 RTC driver
Changed in v2:
- Convert the mpc8xxx_spi driver and the mpc8349emds board to the
new API.

With recent toolchain versions, some boards would not build because
or errors like this one (here for ocotea board when building with
ELDK 4.2 beta):
ppc_4xx-ld: section .bootpg [fffff000 -> fffff23b] overlaps section .bss [fffee900 -> fffff8ab]
For many boards, the .bss section is big enough that it wraps around
at the end of the address space (0xFFFFFFFF), so the problem will not
be visible unless you use a 64 bit tool chain for development. On
some boards however, changes to the code size (due to different
optimizations) we bail out with section overlaps like above.
The fix is to add the NOLOAD attribute to the .bss and .sbss
sections, telling the linker that .bss does not consume any space in
the image.

Change all linker scripts to reference the changed driver name 4xx_uart.o.
Note: In most cased all these explicit referencing of these object files
in the linker scripts is not neccessary. Only for manually embedded
environment into the U-Boot image, which is not done is most cases.
