The EXBITGEN board has not been maintained for a long time; it has
build problems, but no hardware is available any more for testing.

Drop support for this board.

All these linker scripts can be removed since the new common ppc4xx
linker script should be able to handle all of those boards.

Please test and report problems. Thanks.

<title>ppc: Enable full relocation to RAM</title>

The following changes allow U-Boot to fully relocate from flash to
RAM:
 - Remove linker scripts' .fixup sections from the .text section
 - Add -mrelocatable to PLATFORM_RELFLAGS for all boards
 - Define CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS for all boards

Previously, U-Boot would partially relocate, but statically initialized
pointers needed to be manually relocated.

<title>ppc4xx: Convert PPC4xx SDRAM defines from lower case to upper case</title>

<content type='text'>
The latest PPC4xx register cleanup patch missed some SDRAM defines.
This patch now changes lower case UIC defines to upper case. Also
some names are changed to match the naming in the IBM/AMCC users
manuals (e.g. mem_mcopt1 -&gt; SDRAM0_CFG).

<title>ppc4xx: Big cleanup of PPC4xx defines</title>

<id>d1c3b27525b664e8c4db6bb173eed51bfc8220de</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch cleans up multiple issues of the 4xx register (mostly
DCR, SDR, CPR, etc) definitions:

- Change lower case defines to upper case (plb4_acr -&gt; PLB4_ACR)
- Change the defines to better match the names from the
  user's manuals (e.g. cprpllc -&gt; CPR0_PLLC)
- Removal of some unused defines

Please test this patch intensive on your PPC4xx platform. Even though
I tried not to break anything and tested successfully on multiple
4xx AMCC platforms, testing on custom platforms is recommended.

It was brought to our attention that U-Boot contains code derived from the
IBM OpenBIOS source code originally provided with some of the older PowerPC
4xx development boards.  As a result, the original license of this code has
been carried in the various files for a number of years in the U-Boot project.

IBM is dual-licensing the IBM code contributions already present in U-Boot
under either the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2, or the
original code license already present.

<title>Fix all linker script to handle all rodata sections</title>

<id>f62fb99941c625605aa16a0097b396a5c16d2c88</id>
<content type='text'>
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.
