[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2] arm: mvebu: fix boot from UART on ClearFog Base

From: Baruch Siach <baruch@tkos.co.il>
Date: 2017-08-20 13:46:56

The ClearFog Base boot from UART when setting the DIP switches to 01001.
Unfortunately, the SPL code sometimes fails to detect the UART boot
method at run-time. Add an alternative SAR UART boot value to fix this.

+Boot from UART:
+---------------
+
+Connect the on-board micro-USB (CF Pro: CON11, CF Base: CON5)
+to your host.
+
+Set the SW1 DIP switches to UART boot (0: OFF, 1: ON):
+
+  ClearFog Base: 01001
+  ClearFog Pro:  11110
+
+Run the following command to initiate U-Boot download:

+  ./tools/kwboot -b u-boot-spl.kwb /dev/ttyUSBX
+
+Use the correct UART device node for /dev/ttyUSBX.
+
+When download finishes start your favorite terminal emulator
+on /dev/ttyUSBX.

Will do.

The relevant documentation appears to be table 48 in §7.5.1 of the 38x 
Hardware Specification. Unfortunately, the 0x3f value for the Boot Mode Select 
field is not documented there. I only found it in experimentation.
Please resubmit v2 and I'll apply soon.
Will do after some more build and run-time testing.
