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) {
			...

e4a95d112e powerpc: Consolidate bootcount_{store|load} for PowerPC
This patch consolidates bootcount_{store|load} for PowerPC by
implementing a common version in arch/powerpc/lib/bootcount.c. This
code is now used by all PowerPC variants that currently have these
functions implemented.

The functions now use the proper IO-accessor functions to read/write the
values.

This code also supports two different bootcount versions:

a) Use 2 separate words (2 * 32bit) to store the bootcounter
b) Use only 1 word (2 * 16bit) to store the bootcounter

Version b) was already used by MPC5xxx.

fbb0030e38 serial: struct serial_device: add uninit() entry for drivers
Subsequent patch extends mpc512x serial driver to support
multiple PSC ports. The driver will provide an uninit()
function to stop the serial controller and to disable the
controller's clock. Adding uninit() entry to struct serial_device
allows disabling the serial controller after usage of
a stdio serial device.

This patch adds uninit() entry to the struct serial_device
and fixes initialization of this structure in the code
accordingly.

a47a12becf Move arch/ppc to arch/powerpc
As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to
better match the Linux directory structure.

Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in
MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc"
is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with
scripts using this name.
