[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/5] arm/km: adapt bootcounter evaluation

Wed Sep 14 10:41:02 CEST 2011
The bootcounter (stored in the RAM) is not enough protected with the 4 Bytes
BOOTCOUNT_MAGIC against bit errors due to short power loss or holding a system
in RESET. It has been seen, that the bootcounter value has been changed due to
a bit flip on a system holding in RESET, but the BOOTCOUNT_MAGIC was still valid.
A bit pattern with 4000 bytes (after BOOTCOUNT_MAGIC) has been implemented,
which should be enough to detect a bit error.
