[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] zlib: updated to v.1.2.3

[Giuseppe CONDORELLI]

Hi All,

unfortunately currently I'm not able to reproduce this issue because boards
I'm using are not ported
to the best so far u-boot tree.
However:
- I worked with zlib-1.2.3 patch on my current u-boot version (1.3.1)
without problem with sh boards.
- This u-boot version is a little bit different about decompression, e.g.
here we have gunzip inside cmd_bootm and in the bsf it is
  in a different file (gunzip.c)
- Given this, I backported these into 1.3.1 and tested again, with success.
I mean, I tested an old u-boot version
  with newest decompression code. I think it should be a good test, the one
I modified is common code and should be self contained.

I'm wondering if something is going wrong only with PPC arch (errors are
related to this arch), and in this case I cannot
reproduce the issue at all.
Please, is there somebody that can test this patch on a differen arch than
PPC?

What's your thinking about?

Best regards and, please, let me know.
Giuseppe Condorelli
