[U-Boot] AVR32 / ATNGW100 FLASH adressing issues

[Reinhard Meyer]

Hello,

currently the actual u-Boot (U-Boot 2010.03-00351-g40792d6-dirty) for 
AVR32/ATNGW100 defines FLASH to be at 0x00000000 (which is the true 
physical address):
#define CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE            0x00000000
#define CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_SIZE            0x800000
#define CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS        1
#define CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT        135
and
TEXT_BASE        = 0x00000000

however the "flinfo" command show FLASH to be at 0xa0000000 (which is 
translated to 0x00000000 by default)

any commands using FLASH (protect, copy, ...) must therefore use 
addresses at 0xa0000000 otherwise it will be denied not being in the 
FLASH address range.

To make "saveenv" work, the definition had to be changed to:
/*#define CONFIG_ENV_ADDR            (CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE + 
CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_SIZE - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE)*/
#define CONFIG_ENV_ADDR            (0xA07F0000)

So far I could be happy, BUT
1. this seems like a bad hack
2. u-Boot is not aware of its sectors in the FLASH

I would like to fix this in a better way, but would like suggestions of 
where to attack the issue.
I think that the issue should be fixed by making sure FLASH is detected 
at 0x00000000 and NOT at 0xa0000000, correct?
