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"]

Lots of code use this construct:
cmd_usage(cmdtp);
return 1;
Change cmd_usage() let it return 1 - then we can replace all these
ocurrances by
return cmd_usage(cmdtp);
This fixes a few places with incorrect return code handling, too.

The board maintainer states:
The GTH board is obsolete and has not been manufactured for
several years.
To my knowledge, no recent U-Boot build has been tested on that
card.
So drop support for this board.

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) {
...

This patch consolidates bootcount_{store|load} for PowerPC by
implementing a common version in arch/powerpc/lib/bootcount.c. This
code is now used by all PowerPC variants that currently have these
functions implemented.
The functions now use the proper IO-accessor functions to read/write the
values.
This code also supports two different bootcount versions:
a) Use 2 separate words (2 * 32bit) to store the bootcounter
b) Use only 1 word (2 * 16bit) to store the bootcounter
Version b) was already used by MPC5xxx.

Subsequent patch extends mpc512x serial driver to support
multiple PSC ports. The driver will provide an uninit()
function to stop the serial controller and to disable the
controller's clock. Adding uninit() entry to struct serial_device
allows disabling the serial controller after usage of
a stdio serial device.
This patch adds uninit() entry to the struct serial_device
and fixes initialization of this structure in the code
accordingly.

As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to
better match the Linux directory structure.
Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in
MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc"
is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with
scripts using this name.
