[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 8/8] palmtreo680: add utility that writes u-boot to flash

[Marek Vasut]

Dear Mike Dunn,

> This adds a userspace linux utility that writes the u-boot image to an mtd
> partition on the docg4 nand flash.
> 
> A special utility is required to do this because u-boot is partially loaded
> by an initial program loader (IPL) that is permanently programmed to the
> boot region of the flash.  This IPL expects the image to be written in a
> unique format. The characteristics of this format can be summarized as
> follows: - Flash blocks to be loaded must have a magic number in the oob
> bytes of the first page of the block.
>   - Each page must be written redundantly in the subsequent page.
>   - The integrated flash controller's "reliable mode" is used, requiring
> that alternate 2k regions (4 pages) are skipped when writing.
> For these reasons, a u-boot image can not be written using nandwrite from
> mtd-utils.

Use proper errno and "return" as you're returning from main() anyway.

Do you not want to use some calloc() here to make sure the "blockbuf" is zeroed?

Uh, this really might be a candidate for IOCCC, split this please ...
