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.

Microblaze platforms use generic settings and to have
many platforms is confusing that's why I decided to remove this
platform from U-BOOT. ml401 tree is sufficient for covering
all Microblaze platforms.
This change will go through microblaze custodian tree.
This BSP should be outside u-boot source tree.
The second reason is that xilinx ppc405 was moved to generic platform.

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.

As "ppc44x: Unification of virtex5 pp440 boards" did for the xilinx
ppc440 boards, this patch presents a common architecture for all the
xilinx ppc405 boards.
Any custom xilinx ppc405 board can be added very easily with no code
duplicity.
This patch also adds a simple generic board, that can be used on almost
any design with xilinx ppc405 replacing the file ppc405-generic/xparameters.h
This patch is prepared to work with the latest version of EDK (10.1)

This patch provides an unificated way of handling xilinx v5 ppc440 boards.
It unificates 3 different things:
1) Source code
A new board called ppc440-generic has been created. This board includes
a generic tlb initialization (Maps the whole memory into virtual) and
defines board_pre_init, checkboard, initdram and get_sys_info weakly,
so, they can be replaced by specific functions.
If a new board needs to redefine any of the previous functions
(specific initialization) it can create a new directory with the
specific initializations needed. (see the example ml507 board).
2) Configuration file
Common configurations are located under configs/xilinx-ppc440.h, this
header file interpretes the xparameters file generated by EDK and
configurates u-boot in correspondence. Example: if there is a Temac,
allows CMD_CONFIG_NET
Specific configuration are located under specific configuration file.
(see the example ml507 board)
3) Makefile
Some work has been done in order to not duplicate work in the Main
Makefile. Please see the attached code.
In order to support new boards they can be implemented in the next way:
a) Simple Generic Board (90% of the time)
Using EDK generates a new xparameters.h file, replace
ppc440-generic/xparameters.h and run make xilinx-ppc440-generic_config
&& make
b) Simple Boards with special u-boot parameters (9 % of the time)
Create a new file under configs for it (use ml507.h as example) and
change your paramaters. Create a new Makefile paragraph and compile
c) Complex boards (1% of the time)
Create a new folder for the board, like the ml507
Finally, it adds support for the Avnet FX30T Evaluation board, following
the new generic structure:
Cheap board by Avnet for evaluating the Virtex5 FX technology.
This patch adds support for:
- UartLite
- 16MB Flash
- 64MB RAM
Prior using U-boot in this board, read carefully the ERRATA by Avnet
to solve some memory initialization issues.

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

Historically the 405 U-Boot port had a dram_init() call in early init
stage. This function was still called from start.S and most of the time
coded in assembler. This is not needed anymore (since a long time) and
boards should implement the common initdram() function in C instead.
This patch now removed the dram_init() call from start.S and removes the
empty implementations that are scattered through most of the 405 board
ports. Some older board ports really implement this dram_init() though.
These are:
csb272
csb472
ERIC
EXBITGEN
W7OLMC
W7OLMG
I changed those boards to call this assembler dram_init() function now
from their board specific initdram() instead. This *should* work, but please
test again on those platforms. And it is perhaps a good idea that those
boards use some common 405 SDRAM initialization code from cpu/ppc4xx at
some time. So further patches welcome here.

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.

Change all linker scripts to reference the changed driver name 4xx_uart.o.
Note: In most cased all these explicit referencing of these object files
in the linker scripts is not neccessary. Only for manually embedded
