If we built POST on PPC's that didn't enable CONFIG_SYS_POST_FPU we'd
get the following warning with newer toolchains:
powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: Warning: lib_powerpc/fpu/libpostpowerpcfpu.o
uses hard float, libpost.o uses soft float
We actually worked around this sometime ago with the following commit:
commit ce82ff0538

FPU POST: fix warnings when building with 2.18 binutils
However, this only took into effect if CONFIG_SYS_POST_FPU was enabled.
We can simply move the GNU_FPOST_ATTR out of the CONFIG_SYS_POST_FPU
ifdef block to address the issue.

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.

When compile u-boot with the 2.18 binutils the following
warning messages for each object file in post/lib_ppc/fpu/ is
produced at the linking stage:
post/libpost.a(acc1.o) uses hard float, u-boot uses soft-float
...
This is because of the fact that, in general, the soft-float and
hard-float ABIs are incompatible; the 2.18 binutils do checking
of the Tag_GNU_Power_ABI_FP attribute of the files to be linked, and
produce the worning like above if these are not compatible.
The incompatibility of ABIs is concerned only the float values:
e.g. the soft-float ABI assumes the float argument passing in the
pair of rX registers, and the hard-float ABI assumes passing of
the float argument in the fX register. When we don't pass the float
arguments between the functions compiled with different floatness,
then such an application will work correctly.
This is the case for the FPU POST: u-boot (compiled with soft-float)
doesn't pass to (and doesn't get from) the FPU POST functions any
floats; there are no functions exported from the post/lib_ppc/fpu/
objects which would work with float parameters/returns too. So, we
can reassure the linker not to worry about the difference in ABI
attributes of linking files just by setting the 'soft-float'
attribute for the objects in post/lib_ppc/fpu. And this patch does
this.
Also, to avoid passing both soft- and hard-float options in CFLAGS
when compiling the files from post/lib_ppc/fpu (which is OK, but
looks rather dirty) this patch removes the soft-float string from
CFLAGS in post/lib_ppc/fpu/Makefile.

* Fix problems in memory test on some boards (which was not
non-destructive as intended)
* Patch by Gary Jennejohn, 28 Oct 2003:
Change fs/fat/fat.c to put I/O buffers in BSS instead on the stack
to prevent stack overflow on ARM systems
- allow for longer timeouts for USB mass storage devices
* Patch by Denis Peter, 11 Sep 2003:
- fix USB data pointer assignment for bulk only transfer.
- prevent to display erased directories in FAT filesystem.
* Change output format for NAND flash - make it look like for other
memory, too
According to the MPC8260 User's Manual, PCI_MODE signal should be
reflected in SCCR register, and local bus pins configuration is taken
from HRCW and appears in SIUMCR. For some reason it does not work
this way, so the only possibility to detect if the board is
configured in PCI mode is to check the BCSR. This patch sets SCCR and
SIUMCR according to the BCSR.
allow selection of clock frequency as "make" target
* Implement memory autosizing code for IceCube boards
* Configure network port on INCA-IP for autonegotiation
* Fix overflow problem in network timeout code
* Patch by Richard Woodruff, 8 Aug 2003:
Allow crc32 to be used at address 0x000 (crc32_no_comp, too).
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

* Tweak output format for LWMON
Improve documentation of I2C configuration in README
