DA850 EVM: passing maximum clock rate information to kernel

The TI DA850/OMAP-L138/AM18x EVM can be populated with devices
having different maximum allowed CPU clock rating.

The maximum clock the chip can support can only be determined from
the label on the package (not software readable).

Introduce a method to pass the maximum allowed clock rate information
to kernel using ATAG_REVISION. The kernel uses this information to
determine the maximum cpu clock rate reachable using cpufreq.

Note that U-Boot itself does not set the CPU clock rate. The CPU
clock is setup by a primary bootloader ("UBL"). The rate setup by
UBL could be different from the maximum clock rate supported by the
device.

Switch from archive libraries to partial linking

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".

This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.

The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.

This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

Rename TEXT_BASE into CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE

The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
a simple, table driven script.

Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
a Kconfig driven configuration system.

da850evm: basic MII EMAC support

The current da850evm support in u-boot/master omits any use of
the davinci EMAC. This patch adds basic support for the EMAC using
the MII PHY found on the baseboard of the EVM. The MAC address is
read from the environment variable 'ethadd'. Note that this is
different from the da850evm support in the u-boot omapl1 tree
where the MAC address is read from SPI flash.

da850evm : enable NAND even when not in NAND boot mode

There is currently no NAND pinmux enabled by the da850evm board setup code.
This is fine when booting from NAND since the early boot code (UBL) will setup
the pinmux; however, when the boot mode is any other setting NAND is unusable
when enabled in the config.

This patch adds a pinmux list for NAND and enables it when NAND is enabled in
the config. Tested by booting from SPI on the da850evm and verifying NAND
was usable.

davinci_emac: davinci_eth_set_mac_addr to ->write_hwaddr

This patch proposes to migrate the davinci_emac driver to using the
eth_device->write_hwaddr function pointer as suggested by Ben Warren.

All the davinci boards had the behaviour, prior to this patch, of
sync'ing the environment variable enetaddr with the MAC address read
from non-volatile storage on boot -- when the two locations disagreed,
the environment variable value took precendence. This patch keeps the
same behaviour but lets eth_initialize take care of it.

This patch refactors davinci_emac setup in the boards so that the MAC
address is read from non-volatile storage into the environment variable
and then the environment variable value is use in eth_intialize. The
only exception is the direct call to davinci_eth_set_mac_addr made by
the da830evm board init which was changed into an assignment of the
enetaddr field.
