With recent toolchains, the environment sectors were no longer aligned to
sector boundaries. The reason was a combination of two bugs:
1) common/environment.c assumed that CONFIG_TQM8xxL would be defined
for all TQM8xxL and TQM8xxM boards. But "include/common.h", where
this gets defined, is not included here (and cannot be included
without causing lots of problems).
Added a new #define CFG_USE_PPCENV for all boards which really
want to put the environment is a ".ppcenv" section.
2) The linker scripts just include environment.o, silently assuming
that the objects in that file are really in the order in which
they are coded in the C file, i. e. "environment" first, then
"redundand_environment", and "env_size" last. However, current
toolchains (GCC-4.x) reorder the objects, causing the environment
data not to start on a flash sector boundary:
Instead of: we got:
40008000 T environment 40008000 T env_size
4000c000 T redundand_environment 40008004 T redundand_environment
40010000 T env_size 4000c004 T environment
Note: this patch fixes just the first part, and cures the alignment
problem by making sure that "env_size" gets placed correctly. However,
we still have a potential issue because primary and redundant
environment sectors are actually swapped, i. e. we have now:
40008000 T redundand_environment
4000c000 T environment
40010000 T env_size
This shall be fixed in the next version.

pre-define a MAC address; use CONFIG_HAS_ETH* to enable support for
additional ethernet addresses.
* Cleanup drivers/i82365.c - avoid duplication of code
* Fix bogus "cannot span across banks" flash error message
* Add support for CompactFlash for the CPC45 Board.
- Add port to MPC555/556 microcontrollers
- Add support for cmi customer board with
Intel 28F128J3A, 28F320J3A or 28F640J3A flash.
* Patch by Rick Bronson, 28 Mar 2003:
- fix common/cmd_nand.c
when watchdog is on
* Update baudrate in bd_info when it gets changed
* Add watchdog trigger points while waiting for serial port
(so far only 8xx -- needed on LWMON with 100ms watchdog)
* Improve command line tool to access the U-Boot's environment
(figuration of the utility, using a config file)
