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) {
...

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.

Move needed definitions (register descriptions etc.) from
include/mpc512x.h into include/asm-ppc/immap_512x.h.
Instead of using a #define'd register offset, use a function that
provides the PATA controller's base address.
All the rest of include/mpc512x.h are register offset definitions
which can be eliminated by proper use of C structures.
There are only a few register offsets remaining that are needed in
cpu/mpc512x/start.S; for these we provide cpu/mpc512x/asm-offsets.h
which is intended as a temporary workaround only. In a later patch
this file will be removed, too, and then auto-generated from the
respective C structs.

This commit changes the MPC512x code to use I/O accessor calls (i.e.
out_*() and in_*()) instead of using deprecated pointer accesses.

Many of the help messages were not really helpful; for example, many
commands that take no arguments would not print a correct synopsis
line, but "No additional help available." which is not exactly wrong,
but not helpful either.
Commit ``Make "usage" messages more helpful.'' changed this
partially. But it also became clear that lots of "Usage" and "Help"
messages (fields "usage" and "help" in struct cmd_tbl_s respective)
were actually redundant.
This patch cleans this up - for example:
Before:
=> help dtt
dtt - Digital Thermometer and Thermostat
Usage:
dtt - Read temperature from digital thermometer and thermostat.
After:
=> help dtt
dtt - Read temperature from Digital Thermometer and Thermostat
Usage:
dtt

Remove command name from all command "usage" fields and update
common/command.c to display "name - usage" instead of
just "usage". Also remove newlines from command usage fields.

Adds PCI support for MPC5121
Tested with drivers/net/rtl8139.c
Support is conditional since PCI on old silicon does not work.
ads5121_PCI_config turns on PCI
In this version, condition compilation of PCI code has been moved
from ifdef in board/ads5121/pci.c to board/ads5121/Makefile as
suggested by Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD
