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 removes some ft_board_setup() functions from some 4xx boards.
This can be done since we now have a default weak implementation for this
in cpu/ppc4xx/fdt.c. Only board in need for a different/custom
implementation like canyonlands need their own version.

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.

Historically the 405 U-Boot port had a dram_init() call in early init
stage. This function was still called from start.S and most of the time
coded in assembler. This is not needed anymore (since a long time) and
boards should implement the common initdram() function in C instead.
This patch now removed the dram_init() call from start.S and removes the
empty implementations that are scattered through most of the 405 board
ports. Some older board ports really implement this dram_init() though.
These are:
csb272
csb472
ERIC
EXBITGEN
W7OLMC
W7OLMG
I changed those boards to call this assembler dram_init() function now
from their board specific initdram() instead. This *should* work, but please
test again on those platforms. And it is perhaps a good idea that those
boards use some common 405 SDRAM initialization code from cpu/ppc4xx at
some time. So further patches welcome here.

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.

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.

The BCSR status bit for the 66MHz PCI operation was correctly
addressed (MSB/LSB problem). Now the correct currently setup
PCI frequency is displayed upon bootup.
This patch also fixes this problem on Rainier & Yellowstone, since these
boards use the same souce code as Sequoia & Yosemite do.

Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
AMCC suggested to set the PMU bit to 0 for best performace on
the PPC440 DDR controller.
Please see doc/README.440-DDR-performance for details.

address 64M of FLASH.
- Added function sdram_tr1_set to auto calculate the tr1 value for
the DDR.

On PPC44x platforms, the startup message generated in "cpu.c" only
comprised the ppc type and revision but not additional informations
like speed etc. Those speed infos where printed in the board specific
code. This new implementation now prints all CPU infos in the common
cpu specific code. No board specific code is needed anymore and
therefore removed from all current 44x implementations.
