[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH V2] cfi-flash: Add CFG_FLASH_AUTOPROTECT_LIST

This patch adds a configurable flash auto protection list that can be used to make U-Boot protect flash regions in flash_init().
The idea has been discussed on the u-boot mailing list starting on Nov 18th, 2007.
Even this patch brings a new feature it is used as a bugfix for 4xx platforms where flash_init() does not completely protect the monitor's flash range in all situations.
U-Boot protects the flash range from CFG_MONITOR_BASE to (CFG_MONITOR_BASE + monitor_flash_len - 1) by default. This does not include the reset vector at 0xfffffffc.
Example: #define CFG_FLASH_AUTOPROTECT_LIST {{0xfff80000, 0x80000}}
This config option will auto protect the last 512k of flash that contains the bootloader on board like APC405 and PMC405.

Hi,
let me summarize: let's take my initial patch that I posted on Friday. At least two people will be satisfied :-)

OK.
I applied the first version to the u-boot-cfi-flash repository.
Thanks.
