Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:

  1) Add O= to the make command line
  'make O=/tmp/build all'

  2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
  'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
  'make'

The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'

Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.

When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.

Notes:
- Board-dependend code for RPXLITE and RPXCLASSIC-based boards
  placed to the drivers/rpx_pmcia.c file to avoid duplication.
  Same for TQM8xx-based boards (drivers/tqm8xx_pmcia.c).
- drivers/i82365.c has been split into two parts located at
  board/atc/ti113x.c and board/cpc45/pd67290.c (ATC and CPC45 are
  the only boards using CONFIG_82365).
- Changes were tested for clean build and *very* *few* boards.

WARNING: Support for the old '$(...)' syntax will be
discontinued in a later version.

Old, obsolete and duplicated code was cleaned up and replace by the
new partitioning method. There are two possible approaches now:
* define a single, static partition
* use mtdparts command line option and dynamic partitioning
Default is static partitioning.

Add support for 8MB flash SIMM and JFFS2 file system on
Motorola FADS board and its derivatives (MPC86xADS, MPC885ADS).

  Add support for OMAP730 Perseus2 Development board

* Patch by Alan J. Luse, 29 Apr 2004:
  Fix flash chip-select (OR0) option register setting on FADS boards.

* Patch by Alan J. Luse, 29 Apr 2004:
  Report MII network speed and duplex setting properly when
  auto-negotiate is not enabled.

* Patch by Jarrett Redd, 29 Apr 2004:
  Fix hang on reset on Ocotea board due to flash in wrong mode.

- Rename DUET_ADS to MPC885ADS
- Rename CONFIG_DUET to CONFIG_MPC885_FAMILY
- Rename CONFIG_866_et_al to CONFIG_MPC866_FAMILY
- Clean up FADS family port to use the new defines

* Patch by Josef Baumgartner, 10 Feb 2004:
  Fixes for Coldfire port

* Patch by Brad Kemp, 11 Feb 2004:
  Fix CFI flash driver problems

board-specific files to invoke that common implementation.

* Patch by Scott McNutt, 02 Jan 2004:
  Add support for the Nios Active Serial Memory Interface (ASMI)
  on Cyclone devices

* Patch by Andrea Marson, 16 Dec 2003:
  Add support for the PPChameleon ME and HI modules

* Patch by Yuli Barcohen, 22 Dec 2003:
  Add support for Motorola DUET ADS board (MPC87x/88x)

  "revive" U-Boot support for old Motorola MPC860ADS board

* Patch by Cam(ilo?), 03 Dec 2003:
  make examples build even with broken Montavista objcopy

* Patch by Pavel Bartusek, 27 Nov 2003:
  fix conversion problem with "bootretry" evironment variable

  add delay to get I2C working with "imm" command and s3c24x0_i2c.c

* Patch by Richard Woodruff, 17 July 03:
  - Fixed bug in OMAP1510 baud rate divisor settings.

* Patch by Nye Liu, 16 July 2003:
  MPC860FADS fixes:
  - add MPC86xADS support (uses MPC86xADS.h)
  - add 866P/T core support (also MPC859T/MPC859DSL/MPC852T)
    o PLPRCR changes
    o BRG changes (EXTAL/XTAL restricted to 10MHz)
    o don't trust gclk() software measurement by default, depend on
      CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ
  - add DRAM SIMM not installed detection
  - use more "correct" SDRAM initialization sequence
  - allow different SDRAM sizes (8xxADS has 8M)
  - default DER is 0
  - remove unused MAMR defines from FADS860T.h (all done in fads.c)
  - rename MAMR/MBMR defines to be more consistent. Should eventually
    be merged into MxMR to better reflect the PowerQUICC datasheet.

* Patch by Yuli Barcohen, 16 Jul 2003:
  support new Motorola PQ2FADS-ZU evaluation board which replaced
  MPC8260ADS and MPC8266ADS

  - remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
  - split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)

* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
  - major rework of command structure
    (work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)

* Patch by Murray Jensen, 24 Jun 2003:
  - make sure to use only U-boot provided header files
  - fix problems with ".rodata.str1.4" section as used by GCC-3.x

  instead CFG_MONITOR_LEN is now only used to determine  _at_compile_
  _time_  (!) if the environment is embedded within the U-Boot image,
  or in a separate flash sector.

* Cleanup CFG_DER #defines in config files (wd maintained only)

  Fix problem with only partially cleared .bss segment

* Patch by Rune Torgersen, 12 May 2003:
  get PCI to work on a MPC8266ADS board; incorporate change to
  cpu/mpc8260/pci.c to enable overrides of PCI memory parameters
