The actual SPI driver for i.MX31 and i.MX51 controller
use a wrong byte ordering, because it is supposed
to work only with Freescale's devices, as the Power
Controllers (PMIC). The driver is not suitable for
general purposes, because the buffers passed to spi_xfer
must be 32-bit aligned, as it is used mainly to send
integer to PMIC devices.
The patch drops any kind of limitation and makes the
driver useful with devices controlled sending commands
composed by single bytes (or by a odd number of bytes), such as
spi flash, sensor, etc.
Because the byte ordering is changed,
any current driver using this controller must be adapted, too.

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) {
...

The patch add supports for the Freescale's Power
Management Controller (known as Atlas) used together with i.MX31/51
processors. It was tested with a MC13783 (MX31) and
MC13892 (MX51).
