While running from flash, i. e. before relocation, we have only a
limited C runtime environment without writable data segment. In this
phase, some configurations (for example with environment in EEPROM)
must not use the normal getenv(), but a special function. This
function had been called getenv_r(), with the idea that the "_r"
suffix would mean the same as in the _r_eentrant versions of some of
the C library functions (for example getdate vs. getdate_r, getgrent
vs. getgrent_r, etc.).
Unfortunately this was a misleading name, as in U-Boot the "_r"
generally means "running from RAM", i. e. _after_ relocation.
To avoid confusion, rename into getenv_f() [as "running from flash"]

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) {
...

The latest PPC4xx register cleanup patch missed the UIC defines.
This patch now changes lower case UIC defines to upper case.

Many of the help messages were not really helpful; for example, many
commands that take no arguments would not print a correct synopsis
line, but "No additional help available." which is not exactly wrong,
but not helpful either.
Commit ``Make "usage" messages more helpful.'' changed this
partially. But it also became clear that lots of "Usage" and "Help"
messages (fields "usage" and "help" in struct cmd_tbl_s respective)
were actually redundant.
This patch cleans this up - for example:
Before:
=> help dtt
dtt - Digital Thermometer and Thermostat
Usage:
dtt - Read temperature from digital thermometer and thermostat.
After:
=> help dtt
dtt - Read temperature from Digital Thermometer and Thermostat
Usage:
dtt

This patch replaces in/out8/16/32 macros by in/out_8/_be16/_be32
macros. Also volatile pointer references are replaced by the
new accessors.

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.

Historically the 405 U-Boot port had a dram_init() call in early init
stage. This function was still called from start.S and most of the time
coded in assembler. This is not needed anymore (since a long time) and
boards should implement the common initdram() function in C instead.
This patch now removed the dram_init() call from start.S and removes the
empty implementations that are scattered through most of the 405 board
ports. Some older board ports really implement this dram_init() though.
These are:
csb272
csb472
ERIC
EXBITGEN
W7OLMC
W7OLMG
I changed those boards to call this assembler dram_init() function now
from their board specific initdram() instead. This *should* work, but please
test again on those platforms. And it is perhaps a good idea that those
boards use some common 405 SDRAM initialization code from cpu/ppc4xx at
some time. So further patches welcome here.

before we can access it; add delay in case we are faster (with no
CF card inserted)
* Cleanup of some init functions
* Make sure SCC Ethernet is always stopped by the time we boot Linux
to avoid Linux crashes by early packets coming in.
* Accelerate flash accesses on LWMON board by using buffered writes
|

- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
- major rework of command structure
(work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
