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) {
...

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

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.

This patch changes the return type of initdram() from long int to phys_size_t.
This is required for a couple of reasons: long int limits the amount of dram
to 2GB, and u-boot in general is moving over to phys_size_t to represent the
size of physical memory. phys_size_t is defined as an unsigned long on almost
all current platforms.
This patch *only* changes the return type of the initdram function (in
include/common.h, as well as in each board's implementation of initdram). It
does not actually modify the code inside the function on any of the platforms;
platforms which wish to support more than 2GB of DRAM will need to modify
their initdram() function code.
Build tested with MAKEALL for ppc, arm, mips, mips-el. Booted on powerpc
MPC8641HPCN.

add delay to get I2C working with "imm" command and s3c24x0_i2c.c
* Patch by Richard Woodruff, 17 July 03:
- Fixed bug in OMAP1510 baud rate divisor settings.
* Patch by Nye Liu, 16 July 2003:
MPC860FADS fixes:
- add MPC86xADS support (uses MPC86xADS.h)
- add 866P/T core support (also MPC859T/MPC859DSL/MPC852T)
o PLPRCR changes
o BRG changes (EXTAL/XTAL restricted to 10MHz)
o don't trust gclk() software measurement by default, depend on
CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ
- add DRAM SIMM not installed detection
- use more "correct" SDRAM initialization sequence
- allow different SDRAM sizes (8xxADS has 8M)
- default DER is 0
- remove unused MAMR defines from FADS860T.h (all done in fads.c)
- rename MAMR/MBMR defines to be more consistent. Should eventually
be merged into MxMR to better reflect the PowerQUICC datasheet.
* Patch by Yuli Barcohen, 16 Jul 2003:
support new Motorola PQ2FADS-ZU evaluation board which replaced
MPC8260ADS and MPC8266ADS
- 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)
* MPC823 LCD driver: Fill color map backwards, to allow for steady
display when Linux takes over
* Patch by Erwin Rol, 27 Feb 2003:
Add support for RTEMS (this time for real).
* Add support for "bmp info" and "bmp display" commands to load
bitmap images; this can be used (for example in a "preboot"
command) to display a splash screen very quickly after poweron.
* Add support for 133 MHz clock on INCA-IP board
Update for R360MPI board
* Add new meaning to "autostart" environment variable:
If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
"bootm" command will be copied to the load address
(and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
data.
* Set max brightness for MN11236 displays on TRAB board
