[PATCH] Add uboot commandline argument passing support to m68knommu

From: Lennart Sorensen
Date: Fri Sep 18 2009 - 12:27:42 EST


This patch adds m68knommu support for getting the kernel command line
arguments from uboot, including the passing of an initrd image from uboot.

We use this on a 5270/5271 based board, and have used it on the 5271evb
development board. It is based on a patch found in the linux-2.6-denx
git tree, although that tree seems to have had lots of other changes
since which are not in the main Linus kernel. I believe this will work
on all coldfires, although other m68knommu might be missing the _init_sp
stuff in head.S as far as I can tell. I only have the coldfire to
test on.
