Marvell SheevaPlug U-Boot needed for Board Dev

				  For all other boards:
					+ D.S SD:0xD0010000 %LE %LONG 0x21112220
				- D.S SD:0xD0010008 %LE %LONG 0x551111
	5. Start the CPU by pressing "Go" in the debugger SW, and the loaded U-Boot image will boot the board, and now the new image can
	   be burnt to the required boot device using the bubt command.

4. Changes from Previous Releases
=================================

  U-boot 3.4.16
  =============
  -) Updated timing parameter in SATA initialization.
  -) Fixed MPP definition for Sheeva plug board.

  U-boot 3.4.15
   =============  
  -) Improved the RS nand ECC calculation to speed things up.
  -) Updated SDRAM parameters in bootrom header files. (reg 0x1404 [27:24] ; reg 0x140c [10:9])
  -) Added WA for the RD-6281 board erratum for the swapped MDI polarity of the switch connector.


  U-boot 3.4.14
   =============  
  -) Updated USB PHY Rx Control Register 0x50430 initialization according to lates guidelines For EL15, EL16, and EL 17.
  -) Added FTDLL update to bootrom header file for 619x devices, which adds a new header file for the DB-88f619x-A-BP called dramregs_200db619x_A.txt
   

  U-boot 3.4.13
   =============
  -) Added support for USB host to be able to load files from a DOK (FS support for FAT and EXT2). The new commands are "usb"
	, "fatls", "fatload", "ext2ls", "ext2load".
  -) Recovery process now tries by default to recover from FAT DOK -> EXT2 DOK -> network.
  -) Removed from bootrom header files initialization for CPU registers 0x20134 and 0x20138 due to an Erratum that was fixed.
  -) Patched the ext2fs.c driver to support large nodes and improved reading speed.
  -) Added auto detection of TCLK for 88F6281 device which supports 166/200MHz, and updated the SatR command to support TCLK configuration.
  

  U-boot 3.4.12
   =============
  -) Fixed udelay() function which previously didn't operate correctly and didn't do any delays for vlaues <1000us, and
	didn't do correct delays for values >1000us. This may have influenced any function that used the udelay() function.

 
  U-boot 3.4.11
   =============
  -) Fixed a bug in the NAND ECC calculation when using 1bit ECC which caused a page to be marked bad.
  -) Changed the "nandEcc" environment variable to accept "1bit" or "4bit" (previously "RS").
  -) Set the default value for the NAND ECC environment to be 1bit (when it is not set) regardless of
     the NAND size.
  -) When GMII module is used ports 0 & 1 are configured to GMII mode.
  -) Fixed a bug in the imm/imd I2C access commands which occured when accessing EPROM of more than 256 bytes.


  U-boot 3.4.10
   =============
  -) increased the recovery file maximum load size from 32MB to infinite.
  -) NAND ECC UBoot and environment use Reed-Solomon whenever the page size is 2048 bytes or more,
     and the rest of NAND is defined by the environment variable "nandEcc" which can either be "RS"
     or "1bit". If the variable is not defined then the default for a page size below 2048 is 1bit
     and for 2048 or more RS.
  -) Stack is cacheable for monitor extension mode
  -) Added environment variable "nandEccAcc", which when set to "yes" together with "enaMonExt" 
     accelerates the NAND access and ECC calculation by using cacheable execution.
  -) Fixed mvBoardMppMuxSet() setting values accodring to modules, and MPP settings for the audio and
     TDM modules.
  -) Work around in jump.s for the bug of the PEX wrong device ID for 619x.


  U-boot 3.4.9
   ============
   -) Fixed MPP definitions and board structs in mvBoardEnvSpec.
   -) Fixed bug in the parsing of the MTU parameter passed to Linux, and added a default value of 1500.
   -) Fixed doimage.c to support 64 bit Linux host (previouse version caused segmentation fault).


  U-boot 3.4.8
   ============
   -) Added support for PEX/PCI SATA controller on DB-6180-A-BP.
   -) Added Lauterbach cmm files for loading ELF image.


  U-boot 3.4.7
   ============
   -) Updated SDRAM ODT configuration in the BootRom header files to latest design guide recommendations.
   -) Added support DB-88F6180A-BP.
