Modify exports.h to remove its dependencies on other files, thus
enabling standalone apps to require only exports.h from the U-Boot
source tree. This appears to be the intent based on the following

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) {

Atmel DataFlashes by default operate with pages that are slightly bigger
than normal binary sizes (i.e. many are 1056 byte pages rather than 1024
bytes). However, they also have a "power of 2" mode where the pages show
up with the normal binary size. The latter mode is required in order to
boot with a Blackfin processor, so many people wish to convert their
DataFlashes on their development systems to this mode. This standalone
application does just that.
