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.

This patch adds NAND booting support for the AMCC 405EX(r) eval boards.
Again, only one image supports both targets.

Since the cache handling functions were moved from start.S into cache.S
the acadia NAND booting Makfile needs to be adapted accordingly.

This patch also adds a note to the fixed DDR setup for Bamboo NAND booting:
Note:
As found out by Eugene O'Brien <eugene.obrien@advantechamt.com>, the fixed
DDR setup has problems (U-Boot crashes randomly upon TFTP), when the DIMM
modules are still plugged in. So it is recommended to remove the DIMM
modules while using the NAND booting code with the fixed SDRAM setup!

Bamboo has a file sdram.c which needs special treatment when building in
separate directory. It has to be linked to build directory otherwise it is
not seen.

The latest changes showed a problem with the location of the NAND-SPL
image in the OCM and the init-data area (incl. cache). This patch
fixes this problem.

This patch adds NAND booting support for the AMCC Acadia eval board.
Please make sure to configure jumper J7 to position 2-3 when booting
from NOR, and to position 1-2 when booting for NAND.
I also added a board command to configure the I2C bootstrap EEPROM
values. Right now only 267MHz is support for booting either via NOR
or NAND FLASH. Here the usage:
=> bootstrap 267 nor ;to configure the board for 267MHz NOR booting
=> bootstrap 267 nand ;to configure the board for 267MHz NNAND booting

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.

This code will optimize the DDR2 controller setup on a board specific
basis.
Note: This code doesn't work right now on the NAND booting image for the
Sequoia board, since it doesn't fit into the 4kBytes for the SPL image.

- Add support for PPC440EPx & PPC440GRx
- Add support for PPC440EP(x)/GR(x) NAND controller
in cpu/ppc4xx directory
- Add NAND boot functionality for Sequoia board,
please see doc/README.nand-boot-ppc440 for details
- This Sequoia NAND image doesn't support environment
in NAND for now. This will be added in a short while.
