Commit f62fb99941 fixed handling of all rodata sections by using a
wildcard combined with calls to ld's builtin functions SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT()
and SORT_BY_NAME(). Unfortunately these functions were only
introduced with biunutils version 2.16, so the modification broke
building with all tool chains using older binutils.
This patch makes it work again. This is done by omitting the use of
these functions for such old tool chains. This will result in
slightly larger target binaries, as the rodata sections are no longer
in optimal order alignment-wise which reauls in unused gaps, but the
effect was found to be insignificant - especially compared to the fact
that you cannot build U-Boot at all in the current state.
As ld seems to have no support for conditionals we run the linker
script through the C preprocessor which can be easily used to remove
the unwanted function calls.
Note that the C preprocessor must be run with the "-ansi" (or a
"-std=") option to make sure all the system-specific predefined
macros outside the reserved namespace are suppressed. Otherise, cpp
might for example substitute "powerpc" to "1", thus corrupting for
example "OUTPUT_ARCH(powerpc)" etc.

Some Canyonlands boards are equipped with different SODIMM's. This is no
problem with the "normal" NOR booting Canyonlands U-Boot, since it
automatically detects the SODIMM's via SPD data and correctly configures
them. But the NAND booting version is different. Here we only have 4k
of image size to completely setup the hardware, including DDR2 setup.
So we need to use a fixed DDR2 setup here. This doesn't work for different
SODIMM's right now.
Currently only this Crucial SODIMM is support:
CT6464AC667.8FB (dual ranked)
Now some boards are shipped with this SODIMM:
CT6464AC667.4FE (single ranked)
This patch now supports both SODIMM's by configuring first for the dual
ranked DIMM. A quick shows, if this module is really installed. If this test
fails, the DDR2 controller is re-configured for the single
ranked SODIMM.
Tested with those SODIMM's:
CT6464AC667.8FB (dual ranked)
CT6464AC667.4FE (single ranked)

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.

Most of the bss initialization loop increments 4 bytes
at a time. And the loop end is checked for an 'equal'
condition. Make the bss end address aligned by 4, so
that the loop will end as expected.

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.

460EX doesn't support a fixed bootstrap option to boot from 512 byte page
NAND devices. The only bootstrap option for NAND booting is option F for
2k page devices. So to boot from a 512 bype page device, the I2C bootstrap
EEPROM needs to be programmed accordingly.
This patch adds basic NAND booting support for the AMCC Canyonlands aval
board and also adds support to the "bootstrap" command, to enable NAND
booting I2C setting.
Tested with 512 byte page NAND device (32MByte) on Canyonlands.

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.

Note:
As found out by Eugene O'Brien <eugene.obrien@advantechamt.com>, the fixed

modules while using the NAND booting code with the fixed SDRAM setup!

This patch adds NAND booting support for the AMCC Bamboo eval board.
Since the NAND-SPL boot image is limited to 4kbytes, this version
only supports the onboard 64MBytes of DDR. The DIMM modules can't be
supported, since the setup code for I2C DIMM autodetection and
configuration is too big for this NAND bootloader.

Using cpu/ppc4xx/speed.c to calculate the bus frequency is too big
for the 4k NAND boot image so define bus_frequency to 133MHz here
which is save for the refresh counter setup.

As provided by the AMCC applications team, this patch optimizes the
DDR2 setup for 166MHz bus speed. The values provided are also save
to use on a "normal" 133MHz PLB bus system. Only the refresh counter
setup has to be adjusted as done in this patch.
For this the NAND booting version had to include the "speed.c" file
from the cpu/ppc4xx directory. With this addition the NAND SPL image
will just fit into the 4kbytes of program space. gcc version 4.x as
provided with ELDK 4.x is needed to generate this optimized code.
