[U-Boot] POST - Hardware Diagnose Commands methodologies

POST code is inherently very closely hardware specific.  If you read
doc/README.POST you will see that the original design of the code was
done for a MPC823E based system (LWMON, to be specific), and later it
got extended to other boards and processors as needed.

There are generic (per architecture) tests, CPU model specific tests,
SoC specific tests, standard peripheral tests, and board specific
tests.

The requirement documentation for the tests comes from your own
project - we cannot know what you need.  You can then either match
your requirements to existing code and reuse it unchanged, or youmay
have to extend / mdify it, or you may have to add completely new
pieces.

This depends on _your_ requirements.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Why can you only have two doors on a chicken coop? If it had four  it
would be a chicken sedan.
