[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/2 v4] tools: add support for Dove to kwboot

Luka Perkov luka at openwrt.org

From: Sebastian Hesselbarth <sebastian.hesselbarth at gmail.com>

On Dove mvboot can also be used to boot an u-boot image into RAM.
In contrast to Kirkwood, Dove does not support the UART boot mode
sequence but requires the UART boot mode to be selected through
strap pins. The SolidRun CuBox has a push button to allow uart
boot mode but fails on the boot sequence sent by mvboot.

This patch adds another cmdline option to allow to send a boot
image without the boot sequence and adds support for Dove.
