Adds the saving of either ATAGS or FDT kernel argument image to NAND flash. This image then can be used in SPL boot.
This adds two CONFIG_ paramter to board configuration (in this RFC as example added to devkit8000.h): CONFIG_SAVE_BOOT_ARGS makes the feature active CONFIG_BOOT_ARGS_NAND_OFS defines the offset in NAND flash where the image is saved
For OMAP34XX the image is saved with hw-ecc.
Signed-off-by: Simon Schwarz simonschwarzcor@gmail.com --- This is an RFC on how this can be done.
What I don't like here is the omap specific hw ecc switch. But the nand-spl has just hw-ecc yet - at least afaik.
