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) {

Prototype for gunzip/zunzip was only in lib_generic/gunzip.c and thus
repeated in every file using it. This patch moves the prototypes to
common.h and removes all prototypes distributed anywhere else.

This patch fixes an ugly behavior of the IL712 magnetic couplers
as used on PLU405. These parts will remember their last state
over a power cycle which might cause unwanted behavior.

The latest PPC4xx register cleanup patch missed the UIC defines.
This patch now changes lower case UIC defines to upper case.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de>
This patch cleans up multiple issues of the 4xx register (mostly
DCR, SDR, CPR, etc) definitions:
- Change lower case defines to upper case (plb4_acr -> PLB4_ACR)
- Change the defines to better match the names from the
user's manuals (e.g. cprpllc -> CPR0_PLLC)
- Removal of some unused defines
Please test this patch intensive on your PPC4xx platform. Even though
I tried not to break anything and tested successfully on multiple
4xx AMCC platforms, testing on custom platforms is recommended.

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

This patch turns on the auto RS485 mode in the 2nd external
uart on PLU405 boards. This is a special mode of the used
Exar XR16C2850 uart. Because these boards only have a 485 physical
layer connected it's a good idea to turn it on by default.

This patch
- wraps some long lines

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.

* Improve NetConsole support: add support for broadcast destination
address and buffered input.
* Cleanup compiler warnings for GCC 3.3.x and later
* Fix problem in cmd_jffs2.c introduced by CFG_JFFS_SINGLE_PART patch
before we can access it; add delay in case we are faster (with no
CF card inserted)
* Cleanup of some init functions
* Make sure SCC Ethernet is always stopped by the time we boot Linux
to avoid Linux crashes by early packets coming in.
* Accelerate flash accesses on LWMON board by using buffered writes
