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) {
			...

4ccd5510e5 MPC512x: workaround data corruption for unaligned local bus accesses
Commit 460c2ce3 "MPC5200: workaround data corruption for unaligned
local bus accesses" fixed the problem for MPC5200 only, but MPC512x is
affected as well, so apply the same fix here, too.

460c2ce362 MPC5200: workaround data corruption for unaligned local bus accesses
The MPC5200 has a nasty problem that will cause silent data corruption
when performing unaligned 16 or 32 byte accesses when reading from the
local bus - typically this affects reading from flash. The problem can
be easily shown:

This commit implements a workaround at least for the most blatant
problem: using memcpy() from NOR flash. We rename the assembler
routine into __memcpy() and provide a wrapper, which will use a
byte-wise copy loop for unaligned source or target addresses when
reading from NOR flash, and branch to the optimized __memcpy()
in all other cases, thus minimizing the performance impact.

Tested on lite5200b and TQM5200S.

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.
