The example configuration files of nios2-generic board can generated
binary to run on the EP1C20, EP1S10, and EP1S40 boards. So the three
boards can be removed.
With nios2-generic approach, the fpga parameter header file can
be generated from hardware designs using tools. Porting u-boot for
nios2 boards is simplified. Vendors can supply their fpga parameter
file or patches to add a new nios2-generic board instance. There is
no need to include other boards support for nios2 in the u-boot
mainline.

This patch enables the altera_spi and spi_flash drivers for the
nios2-generic board. It allows access to the EPCS/SPI flash on
the Altera EP1C20 board.

This patch adds gpio support of Altera PIO component to the
nios2-generic board. Though it drives only gpio_led at the
moment, it supports bidirectional port to control bit-banging
I2C, NAND flash busy status or button switches, etc.

This is a generic approach to port u-boot for nios2 boards.
You may find the usage of this approach on the nioswiki,
http://nioswiki.com/DasUBoot
A fpga parameter file, which contains base address information
and drivers declaration, is generated from Altera's hardware system
description sopc file using tools.
The example fpga parameter file is compatible with EP1C20, EP1S10
and EP1S40 boards. So these boards can be removed after this commit.
Though epcs controller is removed to cut the dependency of altera_spi
driver.

The outx/writex macros were using writex(addr, val) rather than
the standard writex(val, addr), resulting in incompatibilty with
architecture independent components. This change set uses standard

A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script. Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.
However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering. The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file. This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.
This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified. Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)
I change this to:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))
This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.

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.

With recent toolchain versions, some boards would not build because
or errors like this one (here for ocotea board when building with
ELDK 4.2 beta):
ppc_4xx-ld: section .bootpg [fffff000 -> fffff23b] overlaps section .bss [fffee900 -> fffff8ab]
For many boards, the .bss section is big enough that it wraps around
at the end of the address space (0xFFFFFFFF), so the problem will not
be visible unless you use a 64 bit tool chain for development. On
some boards however, changes to the code size (due to different
optimizations) we bail out with section overlaps like above.
The fix is to add the NOLOAD attribute to the .bss and .sbss
sections, telling the linker that .bss does not consume any space in
the image.

This is a compatibility step that allows both the older form
and the new form to co-exist for a while until the older can
be removed entirely.
All transformations are of the form:
Before:
#if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)
After:
#if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT) || defined(CONFIG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)

Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
1: - board/altera/common/flash.c:flash_erase():
o allow interrupts befor get_timer() call
o check-up each erased sector and avoid unexpected timeouts
- board/altera/dk1c20/dk1s10.c:board_early_init_f():
o enclose sevenseg_set() in cpp condition
- remove the ASMI configuration for DK1S10_standard_32 (never present)
- fix some typed in mistakes in the NIOS documentation
2: - split DK1C20 configuration into several header files:
o two new files for each NIOS CPU description
o U-Boot related part is remaining in DK1C20.h
3: - split DK1S10 configuration into several header files:
o two new files for each NIOS CPU description
o U-Boot related part is remaining in DK1S10.h
4: - Add support for the Microtronix Linux Development Kit

Stratix Edition (DK-1S10)
5: - Add documentation for the Altera Nios Development Kit,
Stratix Edition (DK-1S10)
