While the u-boot code is running from the flash, it is essential that no access
is made to the bss segment. This is due to the fact that .rel.dyn and .bss areas
overlap and former contains information used in relocation. In SPEAr, this was
not taken into consideration. As a result, while the relocation wasn't complete,
dram_init populated an uninitialized global variable resulting in corruption of
.rel.dyn area, which resulted in u-boot crash.
This commit fixes this problem by removing code that accesses bss segment

Lots of code use this construct:
cmd_usage(cmdtp);
return 1;
Change cmd_usage() let it return 1 - then we can replace all these
ocurrances by
return cmd_usage(cmdtp);
This fixes a few places with incorrect return code handling, too.

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) {
...

This patch adds the support to read and write mac id from i2c
memory.
For reading:
if (env contains ethaddr)
pick env ethaddr
else
pick ethaddr from i2c memory
For writing:
chip_config ethaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX writes the mac id
in i2c memory
