The mpl-specfic memory test is only documented for one board, doesn't
compile cleanly, uses improper coding style, and overlaps functionality
with U-Boot's common 'mtest' command, so lets get rid of it.

This patch moves some ppc4xx related headers from the common include
directory (include/) to the powerpc specific one
(arch/powerpc/include/asm/). This way to common include directory is not
so cluttered with files.

<title>Rename getenv_r() into getenv_f()</title>

While running from flash, i. e. before relocation, we have only a
limited C runtime environment without writable data segment. In this
phase, some configurations (for example with environment in EEPROM)
must not use the normal getenv(), but a special function.  This
function had been called getenv_r(), with the idea that the "_r"
suffix would mean the same as in the _r_eentrant versions of some of
the C library functions (for example getdate vs. getdate_r, getgrent
vs. getgrent_r, etc.).

Unfortunately this was a misleading name, as in U-Boot the "_r"
generally means "running from RAM", i. e. _after_ relocation.

To avoid confusion, rename into getenv_f() [as "running from flash"]

Lots of code use this construct:

	cmd_usage(cmdtp);
	return 1;

Change cmd_usage() let it return 1 - then we can replace all these
ocurrances by

	return cmd_usage(cmdtp);

This fixes a few places with incorrect return code handling, too.

<title>Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.</title>

<id>54841ab50c20d6fa6c9cc3eb826989da3a22d934</id>
<content type='text'>
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 &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; **++argv == '-') {
/* ====&gt; */	while (*++*argv) {
			switch (**argv) {
			case 'd':
				debug++;
				break;
			...
			default:
				usage ();
			}
		}
	}
	...
}

The line marked "====&gt;" 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 &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; **++argv == '-') {
		char *arg = *argv;
		while (*++arg) {
			switch (*arg) {
			...

Prototype for gunzip/zunzip was only in lib_generic/gunzip.c and thus
repeated in every file using it. This patch moves the prototypes to
common.h and removes all prototypes distributed anywhere else.

<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
