82c9dfdc20 powerpc/fsl: add 'pixis_reset dump' command
Add the 'pixis_reset dump' command, which displays the contents of the PIXIS
registers.  This command is only available if DEBUG is defined.

aa8d3fb8f4 p1022ds: allow for board-specific ngPIXIS functions
The ngPIXIS is an FPGA used on the reference boards of most Freescale PowerPC
SOCs.  Although programming the ngPIXIS is mostly standard on all boards that
have it, the P1022DS is unique in that the ngPIXIS needs to be programmed in
"indirect" mode whenever the video display (DIU) is active.

To support indirect mode, and to make it easier to support other quirks on
future reference boards, the low-level ngPIXIS functions are all marked as
weak, so that board-specific code can override any of them.  We take advantage
of this feature on the P1022DS, so that we can properly reset the board when
the DIU is active.

54841ab50c Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.
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 > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */	while (*++*argv) {
			switch (**argv) {
			case 'd':
				debug++;
				break;
			...
			default:
				usage ();
			}
		}
	}
	...
}

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

5a46960883 p2020ds: add alternate boot bank support using the ngPIXIS FPGA
The Freescale P2020DS board uses a new type of PIXIS FPGA, called the ngPIXIS.
The ngPIXIS has one distinct new feature: the values of the on-board switches
can be selectively overridden with shadow registers.  This feature is used to
boot from a different NOR flash bank, instead of having a register dedicated
for this purpose.  Because the ngPIXIS is so different from the previous PIXIS,
a new file is introduced: ngpixis.c.

Also update the P2020DS checkboard() function to use the new macros defined
in the header file.
