* Patches by Stephan Linz, 12 Feb 2004:
  - add support for NIOS timer with variable period preload counter value
  - prepare POST framework support for NIOS targets

* Patch by Denis Peter, 11 Feb 2004:
  add POST support for the MIP405 board

1: - board/altera/common/flash.c:flash_erase():
     o allow interrupts befor get_timer() call
     o check-up each erased sector and avoid unexpected timeouts
   - board/altera/dk1c20/dk1s10.c:board_early_init_f():
     o enclose sevenseg_set() in cpp condition
   - remove the ASMI configuration for DK1S10_standard_32 (never present)
   - fix some typed in mistakes in the NIOS documentation
2: - split DK1C20 configuration into several header files:
     o two new files for each NIOS CPU description
     o U-Boot related part is remaining in DK1C20.h
3: - split DK1S10 configuration into several header files:
     o two new files for each NIOS CPU description
     o U-Boot related part is remaining in DK1S10.h
4: - Add support for the Microtronix Linux Development Kit
     NIOS CPU configuration at the Altera Nios Development Kit,
     Stratix Edition (DK-1S10)
5: - Add documentation for the Altera Nios Development Kit,
     Stratix Edition (DK-1S10)
6: - Add support for the Nios Serial Peripharel Interface (SPI)
     (master only)
7: - Add support for the common U-Boot SPI framework at
     RTC driver DS1306

* Patch by Scott McNutt, 02 Jan 2004:
  Add support for the Nios Active Serial Memory Interface (ASMI)
  on Cyclone devices

* Patch by Andrea Marson, 16 Dec 2003:
  Add support for the PPChameleon ME and HI modules

* Patch by Yuli Barcohen, 22 Dec 2003:
  Add support for Motorola DUET ADS board (MPC87x/88x)

- more documentation for NIOS port
- new struct nios_pio_t, struct nios_spi_t
- Reconfiguration for NIOS Development Kit DK1C20:
  o move board related code from board/dk1c20
    to board/altera/dk1c20
  o create a new common source path board/altera/common
    and move generic flash access stuff into it
  o change/expand configuration file DK1C20.h
- Add support for NIOS Development Kit DK1S10
- Add status LED support for NIOS systems
- Add dual 7-segment LED support for Altera NIOS DevKits

  - Added Motorola CPU 8540/8560 support (cpu/85xx)
  - Added Motorola MPC8540ADS board support (board/mpc8540ads)
  - Added Motorola MPC8560ADS board support (board/mpc8560ads)

* Minor code cleanup

  - add support for Altera Nios-32 CPU
  - add support for Nios Cyclone Development Kit (DK-1C20)

* Patch by Steven Scholz, 29 Sep 2003:
  - A second parameter for bootm overwrites the load address for
    "Standalone Application" images.
  - bootm sets environment variable "filesize" to the resulting
    (uncompressed) data length for "Standalone Application" images
    when autostart is set to "no". Now you can do something like
       if bootm $fpgadata $some_free_ram ; then
               fpga load 0 $some_free_ram $filesize
       fi

* Patch by Denis Peter, 25 Sept 2003:
  add support for the MIP405 Rev. C board
