[RFC PATCH 0/2] impedance-matcher generic improvements

[jason@lakedaemon.net (Jason Cooper)]

Daniel,

Here's a patch (plus a cscope target) to attempt to make the impedance-matcher
generic code.  Hopefully I'll have time to test tomorrow.  All I can say atm is
that it compiles cleanly with and without specifying an appended zImage.

Warning: the code in string.c is little better than psuedo-code, maybe not even
that good.  I'm posting this so if anyone else is inclined to work on this,
there's no need to duplicate effort.  And, I have a firm belief in the
motivating effects af posting half-assed code.  ;-)

Basic idea is to replace a device's stock kernel with this impedance-matcher.
Load the kernel and/or the devicetree blob to desired addresses.  Add
'loadaddrs=0xXXXXXXXX,0xYYYYYYYY' to the kernel's command line.  Or, if you are
appending, 'loadaddrs=appended,0xYYYYYYYY'.  First address is the location of
the kernel, second is the location of the dtb.

Then, for u-boot, 'bootm 0xZZZZZZZZ' where 0xZZZZZZZZ is the address of the
impedance-matcher.

For those interested, a public branch can be found at (prone to rebase!):

Thomas,

You weren't in the original Cc: of this thread, I added you because this may
help with your shifting register base address issues.

thx,

Jason.
