The ARM reference designs all use a special flash image format
that stores a footer (two versions exist) at the end of the last
erase block of the image in flash memory.

Version one of the footer is indicated by the magic number
0xA0FFFF9F at 12 bytes before the end of the flash block and
version two is indicated by the magic number 0x464F4F54 0x464C5348
(ASCII for "FLSHFOOT") in the very last 8 bytes of the erase block.

This command driver implements support for both versions of the
AFS images (the name comes from the Linux driver in drivers/mtd/afs.c)
and makes it possible to list images and load an image by name into
the memory with these commands:

afs - lists flash contents
afs load <image> - loads image to address indicated in the image
afs load <image> <addres> - loads image to a specified address

This image scheme is used on the ARM Integrator family, ARM
Versatile family, ARM RealView family (not yet supported in U-Boot)
and ARM Versatile Express family up to and including the new
Juno board for 64 bit development.

The ubi check command is expected to not fail and just check whether
a volume exist or not. Currently, when a volume does not exist, the
command fails which leads to an error:
"exit not allowed from main input shell."

Use 1 to indicate that a volume does not exist. This allows to use
ubi check in an if statement, e.g.
if ubi check rootfs; then; echo "exists"; else; echo "not there"; fi

introduce CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE.
An SPL which define this will panic() if the
image it has loaded does not have a mkimage
signature.

With e37f1eb we now use strict_strtoul() in do_mem_mtest() and this
gives us a warning:
../include/vsprintf.h:38:5: note: expected 'long unsigned int *' but
argument is of type 'int *'

The u-boot environment is redundantly stored in a NOR flash on our boards.
Redundant means that there are two places to store the environment. But only
one of the two is active. I discovered that on one board the u-boot (env_sf)
uses the environment from the second place and the Kernel (fw_printenv) uses
the environment from the first place.
To decide which is the active environment there is a byte inside the
environment. 1 means active and 0 means obsolete. But on that board both
environments had have a 1. This can happen if a power loss or reset occurs
during writing the environment. In this situation the u-boot (env_sf)
implementation uses the second environment as default. But the Kernel
(fw_printenv) implementation uses the first environment as default.

This commit corrects the default in the u-boot env_sf implementation when a
problem was detected. Now the recovery default is the same like in all other
environment implementations. E.g. fw_printenv and env_flash. This ensures that
u-boot and Kernel use the same environment.

Intention behind this work was elimination of as much assembly-written
code as it is possible.

In case of ARC we already have relocation fix-up implemented in C so why
don't we use C for U-Boot copying, .bss zeroing etc.

It turned out x86 uses pretty similar approach so we re-used parts of
code in "board_f.c" initially implemented for x86.

Now assembly usage during init is limited to stack- and frame-pointer
setup before and after relocation.

This command is only enabled by one board, complicates the NAND code,
and doesn't appear to have been functioning properly for several
years.  If there are no bad blocks in the NAND region being written
nand_write_skip_bad() will take the shortcut of calling nand_write()
which bypasses the special yaffs handling.  This causes invalid YAFFS
data to be written. See
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-September/102830.html for
an example and a potential workaround.

U-Boot still retains the ability to mount and access YAFFS partitions
via CONFIG_YAFFS2.
