With recent toolchain versions, some boards would not build because
or errors like this one (here for ocotea board when building with
ELDK 4.2 beta):
ppc_4xx-ld: section .bootpg [fffff000 -> fffff23b] overlaps section .bss [fffee900 -> fffff8ab]
For many boards, the .bss section is big enough that it wraps around
at the end of the address space (0xFFFFFFFF), so the problem will not
be visible unless you use a 64 bit tool chain for development. On
some boards however, changes to the code size (due to different
optimizations) we bail out with section overlaps like above.
The fix is to add the NOLOAD attribute to the .bss and .sbss
sections, telling the linker that .bss does not consume any space in
the image.

- Support for TQM8541/8555 boards added.
- Complete rework of TQM8540/8560 support.
- Common TQM85xx code now supports all current TQM85xx platforms
(TQM8540/8541/8555/8560).
- DDR SDRAM size detection added.
- CAS latency default values can be overwritten by setting "serial#"
to e.g. "ABC0001 casl=25" -> CAS latency 2.5 will be used.
If problems are detected with this non default CAS latency,
the defualt values will be used instead.
- FLASH size detection added.
- Moved FCC ethernet driver initialization behind TSEC driver init
-> TSEC is first device.
