2008-09-10ARM DaVinci: Fix broken HW ECC for large page NAND.Hugo Villeneuve
Based on original patch by Bernard Blackham <bernard@largestprime.net> U-boot's HW ECC support for large page NAND on Davinci is completely broken. Some kernels, such as the 2.6.10 one supported by MontaVista for DaVinci, rely upon this broken behaviour as they share the same code for ECCs. In the existing scheme, error detection *might* work on large page, but error correction definitely does not. Small page ECC correction works, but the format is not compatible with the mainline git kernel. This patch adds ECC code that matches what is currently in the Davinci git repository (since NAND support was added in 2.6.24). This makes the ECC and OOB layout written by u-boot compatible with Linux for both small page and large page devices and fixes ECC correction for large page devices. The old behaviour can be restored by defining the macro CFG_DAVINCI_BROKEN_ECC, which is undefined by default.

2008-09-01avr32: refactor the portmux/gpio codeHaavard Skinnemoen
- Separate the portmux configuration functionality from the GPIO pin control API. - Separate the controller-specific code from the chip-specific code. - Allow "ganged" port configuration (multiple pins at once). - Add more flexibility to the "canned" peripheral select functions: - Allow using more than 23 address bits, more chip selects, as well as NAND- and CF-specific pins. - Make the MACB SPEED pin optional, and choose between MII/RMII using a parameter instead of an #ifdef. - Make it possible to use other MMC slots than slot 0, and support different MMC/SDCard data bus widths. - Use more reasonable pull-up defaults; floating pins may consume a lot of power. - Get rid of some custom portmux code from the mimc200 board code. The old gpio/portmux API couldn't really handle its requirements, but the new one can. - Add documentation. The end result is slightly smaller code for all boards. Which isn't really the point, but at least it isn't any larger. This has been verified on ATSTK1002 and ATNGW100. I'd appreciate if the board maintainers could help me test this on their boards. In particular, the mimc200 port has lost a lot of code, so I'm hoping Mark can help me out.

2008-07-31Fix printf() format problems with configurable promptsWolfgang Denk
U-Boot allows for configurable prompt strings using the CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT resp. CONFIG_MENUPROMPT definitions. So far, the assumption was that any such user defined problts would contain exactly one "%d" format specifier. But some boards did not. To allow for flexible boot prompts without adding too complex code we now allow to specify the whole list of printf() arguments in the user definition. This is powerful, but requires a responsible user who really understands what he is doing, as he needs to know for exanple which variables are available in the respective context.

2008-02-14PPC: Use r2 instead of r29 as global data pointerWolfgang Denk
R29 was an unlucky choice as with recent toolchains (gcc-4.2.x) gcc will refuse to use load/store multiple insns; instead, it issues a list of simple load/store instructions upon function entry and exit, resulting in bigger code size, which in turn makes the build for a few boards fail. Use r2 instead. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>
