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 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)

Notes:
- Board-dependend code for RPXLITE and RPXCLASSIC-based boards
placed to the drivers/rpx_pmcia.c file to avoid duplication.
Same for TQM8xx-based boards (drivers/tqm8xx_pmcia.c).
- drivers/i82365.c has been split into two parts located at
board/atc/ti113x.c and board/cpc45/pd67290.c (ATC and CPC45 are
the only boards using CONFIG_82365).
- Changes were tested for clean build and *very* *few* boards.
* Cleanup confusing use of CONFIG_ETH*ADDR - ust his only to
pre-define a MAC address; use CONFIG_HAS_ETH* to enable support for
additional ethernet addresses.
* Cleanup drivers/i82365.c - avoid duplication of code
* Fix bogus "cannot span across banks" flash error message
* Add support for CompactFlash for the CPC45 Board.
- add support for a new version of an Intracom board and fix
various other things on others.
- add verify support to the crc32 command (define
CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY to enable it)
- fix FEC driver for MPC8xx systems:
1. fix compilation problems for boards that use dynamic
allocation of DPRAM
2. shut down FEC after network transfers
- HUSH parser fixes:
1. A new test command was added. This is a simplified version of
the one in the bourne shell.
2. A new exit command was added which terminates the current
executing script.
3. Fixed handing of $? (exit code of last executed command)
- add auto-complete support to the U-Boot CLI
- add support for NETTA and NETPHONE boards; fix NETVIA board
* Patch by Yuli Barcohen, 28 Mar 2004:
- Add support for MPC8272 family including MPC8247/8248/8271/8272
- Add support for MPC8272ADS evaluation board (another flavour of MPC8260ADS)
- Change configuration method for MPC8260ADS family
- Added LBA48 support (CONFIG_LBA48 & CFG_64BIT_LBA)
- Added support for 64bit printing in vsprintf (CFG_64BIT_VSPRINTF)
- Added support for 64bit strtoul (CFG_64BIT_STRTOUL)

expand config.mk to avoid trigraph warnings on NIOS
* Rename "BMS2003" board into "HMI10"
environment variable which can set to "100", "133", or "150". The
CPU clock will be configured accordingly upon next reboot. Other
values are ignored. In case of an invalid or undefined "cpuclk"
value, the compile-time default CPU clock speed will be used.
* Enable Quad-UART on BMS2003 board (initialize the PCMCIA memory
window that is used to access the UART registers by the Linux driver)
* Patch by Reinhard Meyer, 20 Dec 2003:
Fix clock calculation for the MPC5200 for higher clock frequencies
(above 2**32 / 10 = 429.5 MHz).
