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"]

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

<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) {
			...

Change the return type of the *printf() functions to the standard
"int"; no changes are needed but returning the already available
length count.

This will save a few additional strlen() calls later...

Only one file apparently defines this function, and it merely stubs
it out. So if no one is defining/calling it, punt it.

Modify print_size() so that it can accept numbers larger than 4GB on 32-bit
systems.

Add support for display terabyte, petabyte, and exabyte sizes.  Change the
output to use International Electrotechnical Commission binary prefix standard.

Now that the other architecture-specific lib directories have been
moved out of the top-level directory there's not much reason to have the
'_generic' suffix on the common lib directory.

Add a disable sub-command to the cpu command that allows for disabling
cores in multicore processors.  This can be useful for systems that are
using multicore chips but aren't utilizing all the cores as a way to
reduce power and possibly improve performance.

Also updated an added missing copyright.
