If CFG_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, this specified
memory area will get subtracted from the top (end) of ram and won't get
"touched" at all by U-Boot. By fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel
should gets passed the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it
either. This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux board
ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support, which recalculate the
memory size from the SDRAM controller setup, will have to get fixed
in Linux additionally.
This patch enables this config option on some PPC440EPx boards as a workaround
for the CHIP 11 errata. Here the description from the AMCC documentation:
CHIP_11: End of memory range area restricted access.
Category: 3
Overview:
The 440EPx DDR controller does not acknowledge any
transaction which is determined to be crossing over the
end-of-memory-range boundary, even if the starting address is
within valid memory space. Any such transaction from any PLB4
master will result in a PLB time-out on PLB4 bus.
Impact:
In case of such misaligned bursts, PLB4 masters will not
retrieve any data at all, just the available data up to the
end of memory, especially the 440 CPU. For example, if a CPU
instruction required an operand located in memory within the
last 7 words of memory, the DCU master would burst read 8
words to update the data cache and cross over the
end-of-memory-range boundary. Such a DCU read would not be
answered by the DDR controller, resulting in a PLB4 time-out
and ultimately in a Machine Check interrupt. The data would
be inaccessible to the CPU.
Workaround:
Forbid any application to access the last 256 bytes of DDR
memory. For example, make your operating system believe that
the last 256 bytes of DDR memory are absent. AMCC has a patch
that does this, available for Linux.
This patch sets CFG_MEM_TOP_HIDE for the following 440EPx boards:
lwmon5, korat, sequoia
The other remaining 440EPx board were intentionally not included
since it is not clear to me, if they use the end of ram for some
other purpose. This is unclear, since these boards have CONFIG_PRAM
defined and even comments like this:
PMC440.h:
/* esd expects pram at end of physical memory.
* So no logbuffer at the moment.
*/
It is strongly recommended to not use the last 256 bytes on those
boards too. Patches from the board maintainers are welcome.

For historical reasons we limited the stack to 256M because some boards
could only map that much via BATS. However newer boards are capable of
mapping more memory (for example 85xx is capble of doing up to 2G).

To enable this, alternative, configuration the U-Boot board configuration
file for lwmon5 includes the definitions of alternative addresses for header
(CONFIG_ALT_LH_ADDR) and buffer (CONFIG_ALT_LB_ADDR).
The Linux shall be configured with the CONFIG_ALT_LB_LOCATION option set,
and has the BOARD_ALT_LH_ADDR and BOARD_ALT_LB_ADDR constants defined in the
lwmon5 board-specific header (arch/ppc/platforms/4xx/lwmon5.h).

This is an API for external (standalone) applications running on top of
U-Boot, and is meant to be more extensible and robust than the existing
jumptable mechanism. It is similar to UNIX syscall approach. See api/README
for more details.
Included is the demo application using this new framework (api_examples).
Please note this is still an experimental feature, and is turned off by
default.

83xx processor family has many reset sources, such as
power on reset, software hard reset, software soft reset,
JTAG, bus monitor, software watchdog, check stop reset,
external hard reset, external software reset.
sometimes, to figure out the fault of system, we need to
know the cause of reset early before the prompt of
u-boot present.

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:

Added code for reading and writing Mac addresses to/from ID EEPROM(0x57).
With attached patch, we can use command "mac/mac read/mac save/"
to read and write EEPROM under u-boot prompt.
U-boot will calculate the checksum of EEPROM while bootup,
if it is right, then u-boot will check whether the mac address
of eTSEC0/1/2/3 is availalbe (non-zero).
If there is mac address availabe in EEPROM, u-boot will use it,
otherewise, u-boot will use the mac address defined in
MPC8641HPCN.h. This matches the requirement to set unique mac address
for each TSEC port.
