[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] arm: mvebu: fix boot from UART on ClearFog Base

[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] arm: mvebu: fix boot from UART on ClearFog Base

[Baruch Siach]

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.

Note that this alternative value is not documented (Armada 38x Hardware
Specifications, Table 48). But experimentations showed it on the
ClearFog Base.

+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.
