Simon Glass e895a4b06f fdt: Allow ft_board_setup() to report failure
This function can fail if the device tree runs out of space. Rather than
silently booting with an incomplete device tree, allow the failure to be
detected.

Unfortunately this involves changing a lot of places in the code. I have
not changed behvaiour to return an error where one is not currently
returned, to avoid unexpected breakage.

Eventually it would be nice to allow boards to register functions to be
called to update the device tree. This would avoid all the many functions
to do this. However it's not clear yet if this should be done using driver
model or with a linker list. This work is left for later.

Overview
--------
P2020RDB is a Low End Dual core platform supporting the P2020 processor
of QorIQ series. P2020 is an e500 based dual core SOC.

Building U-boot
-----------
To build the u-boot for P2020RDB:
	make P2020RDB_config
	make

NOR Flash Banks
-----------
RDB board for P2020 has two flash banks. They are both present on boot.

Booting by default is always from the boot bank at 0xef00_0000.

Memory Map
----------
0xef00_0000 - 0xef7f_ffff	Alternate bank		8MB
0xe800_0000 - 0xefff_ffff	Boot bank		8MB

0xef74_0000 - 0xef7f_ffff	Alternate u-boot address	768KB
0xeff4_0000 - 0xefff_ffff	Boot u-boot address		768KB

Switch settings to boot from the NOR flash banks
------------------------------------------------
SW4[8]=0 default NOR Flash bank
SW4[8]=1 Alternate NOR Flash bank

Flashing Images
---------------
To place a new u-boot image in the alternate flash bank and then boot
with that new image temporarily, use this:
	tftp 1000000 u-boot.bin
	erase ef740000 ef7fffff
	cp.b 1000000 ef740000 c0000

Now to boot from the alternate bank change the SW4[8] from 0 to 1.

To program the image in the boot flash bank:
	tftp 1000000 u-boot.bin
	protect off all
	erase eff40000 ffffffff
	cp.b 1000000 eff40000 c0000

Using the Device Tree Source File
---------------------------------
To create the DTB (Device Tree Binary) image file,
use a command similar to this:

	dtc -b 0 -f -I dts -O dtb p2020rdb.dts > p2020rdb.dtb

Likely, that .dts file will come from here;

	linux-2.6/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/p2020rdb.dts

Booting Linux
-------------
Place a linux uImage in the TFTP disk area.

	tftp 1000000 uImage.p2020rdb
	tftp 2000000 rootfs.ext2.gz.uboot
	tftp c00000 p2020rdb.dtb
	bootm 1000000 2000000 c00000

Implementing AMP(Asymmetric MultiProcessing)
---------------------------------------------
1. Build kernel image for core0:

	a. $ make 85xx/p1_p2_rdb_defconfig

	b. $ make menuconfig
	   - un-select "Processor support"->
		"Symetric multi-processing support"

	c. $ make uImage

	d. $ cp arch/powerpc/boot/uImage /tftpboot/uImage.core0

2. Build kernel image for core1:

	a. $ make 85xx/p1_p2_rdb_defconfig

	b. $ make menuconfig
	   - Un-select "Processor support"->
		"Symetric multi-processing support"
	   - Select "Advanced setup" ->
		"Prompt for advanced kernel configuration options"
		- Select
			"Set physical address where the kernel is loaded"
			and set it to 0x20000000, assuming core1 will
			start from 512MB.
		- Select "Set custom page offset address"
		- Select "Set custom kernel base address"
		- Select "Set maximum low memory"
	   - "Exit" and save the selection.

	c. $ make uImage

	d. $ cp arch/powerpc/boot/uImage /tftpboot/uImage.core1

3. Create dtb for core0:

	$ dtc -I dts -O dtb -f -b 0
		 arch/powerpc/boot/dts/p2020rdb_camp_core0.dts >
		 /tftpboot/p2020rdb_camp_core0.dtb

4. Create dtb for core1:

	$ dtc -I dts -O dtb -f -b 1
		 arch/powerpc/boot/dts/p2020rdb_camp_core1.dts >
		 /tftpboot/p2020rdb_camp_core1.dtb

5. Bring up two cores separately:

	a. Power on the board, under u-boot prompt:
		=> setenv <serverip>
		=> setenv <ipaddr>
		=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200
	b. Bring up core1's kernel first:
		=> setenv bootm_low 0x20000000
		=> setenv bootm_size 0x10000000
		=> tftp 21000000 uImage.core1
		=> tftp 22000000 ramdiskfile
		=> tftp 20c00000 p2020rdb_camp_core1.dtb
		=> interrupts off
		=> bootm start 21000000 22000000 20c00000
		=> bootm loados
		=> bootm ramdisk
		=> bootm fdt
		=> fdt boardsetup
		=> fdt chosen $initrd_start $initrd_end
		=> bootm prep
		=> cpu 1 release $bootm_low - $fdtaddr -
	c. Bring up core0's kernel(on the same u-boot console):
		=> setenv bootm_low 0
		=> setenv bootm_size 0x20000000
		=> tftp 1000000 uImage.core0
		=> tftp 2000000 ramdiskfile
		=> tftp c00000 p2020rdb_camp_core0.dtb
		=> bootm 1000000 2000000 c00000

Please note only core0 will run u-boot, core1 starts kernel directly
after "cpu release" command is issued.
