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) {
			...

52cb4d4fb3 stdio/device: rework function naming convention
So far the console API uses the following naming convention:

	======Extract======
	typedef struct device_t;

	int	device_register (device_t * dev);
	int	devices_init (void);
	int	device_deregister(char *devname);
	struct list_head* device_get_list(void);
	device_t* device_get_by_name(char* name);
	device_t* device_clone(device_t *dev);
	=======

which is too generic and confusing.

Instead of using device_XX and device_t we change this
into stdio_XX and stdio_dev

This will also allow to add later a generic device mechanism in order
to have support for multiple devices and driver instances.

2fb2604d5c Command usage cleanup
Remove command name from all command "usage" fields and update
common/command.c to display "name - usage" instead of
just "usage". Also remove newlines from command usage fields.

9025317883 common/: Remove lingering references to CFG_CMD_* symbols.
Fixed some broken instances of "#ifdef CMD_CFG_IDE" too.
Those always evaluated TRUE, and thus were always compiled
even when IDE really wasn't defined/wanted.

a76adc8142 common/cmd_[a-f]* : Augment CONFIG_COMMANDS tests with defined(CONFIG_CMD_*).
This is a compatibility step that allows both the older form
and the new form to co-exist for a while until the older can
be removed entirely.

All transformations are of the form:
Before:
    #if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)
After:
    #if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT) || defined(CONFIG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)
