commit 2e95004deb "mpc83xx: Add NAND boot support
for MPC8315E-RDB boards" symlinked nand_spl/board/freescale/mpc8315erdb to
mpc8313erdb in order to not duplicate code.
Since the main makefile builds nand_spl/board/$(BOARDDIR) (which makes sense),
and the board Makefile and linker script are the only two necessary files
to enable out-of-tree building, and other boards have duplicated nand makefiles
(e.g. 8536ds & 8569mds), it only seems prudent to copy these two files in the
name of the 8315 too.

NAND Boot support for P1 and P2 series RDB platforms.
This patch is derived from NAND Boot support on MPC8536DS.

MPC8536E can support booting from NAND flash which uses the
image u-boot-nand.bin. This image contains two parts: a 4K
NAND loader and a main U-Boot image. The former is appended
to the latter to produce u-boot-nand.bin. The 4K NAND loader
includes the corresponding nand_spl directory, along with the
code twisted by CONFIG_NAND_SPL. The main U-Boot image just
like a general U-Boot image except the parts that included by
CONFIG_SYS_RAMBOOT.
When power on, eLBC will automatically load from bank 0 the
4K NAND loader into the FCM buffer RAM where CPU can execute
the boot code directly. In the first stage, the NAND loader
copies itself to RAM or L2SRAM to free up the FCM buffer RAM,
then loads the main image from NAND flash to RAM or L2SRAM
and boot from it.
This patch implements the NAND loader to load the main image
into L2SRAM, so the main image can configure the RAM by using
SPD EEPROM. In the first stage, the NAND loader copies itself
to the second to last 4K address space, and uses the last 4K
address space as the initial RAM for stack.
Obviously, the size of L2SRAM shouldn't be less than the size
of the image used. If so, the workaround is to generate another
image that includes the code to configure the RAM by SPD and
load it to L2SRAM first, then relocate the main image to RAM
to boot up.

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.

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.

We load the secondary stage u-boot image from NAND to
system memory by nand_load, but we did not flush d-cache
to memory, nor invalidate i-cache before we jump to RAM.
When the system has cache enabled and the TLB/page attribute
of system memory is cacheable, it will cause issues.
- 83xx family is using the d-cache lock, so all of d-cache
access is cache-inhibited. so you can't see the issue.
- 85xx family is using d-cache, i-cache enable, partial
cache lock. you will see the issue.
This patch fixes the cache issue.

Note that with older board revisions, NAND boot may only work after a
power-on reset, and not after a warm reset. I don't have a newer board
to test on; if you have a board with a 33MHz crystal, please let me know
if it works after a warm reset.
