Warm reboot on 826x targets

[Paul Gortmaker]

I should have asked what version of U-Boot you were using.  I've had
U-Boot 1.1.1 on this thing from the beginning, but I've heard that some
people are sticking with 1.0 on production stuff.

I've found that I can't use the watchdog timer for a reboot, since it is
"write once" (SYCPR) and I'm guessing U-Boot writes to it at boot.

As a different twist, I tried doing a reset like the m8xx does, as shown
below, but that just caused a hang as well, so I'm wondering if the
problem is more low level (board isn't set up properly, etc.)

Paul.

/*
 *This is a tweaked version of the m8xx_restart.
 */
static void
sbc82xx_restart(char *cmd)
{
        __volatile__ unsigned char dummy;
        unsigned long msr;

        volatile car_cpm2_t *cc = &cpm2_immr->im_clkrst;

        msr = mfmsr();
        mtmsr(msr & ~MSR_EE);
        __asm__ __volatile__("": : :"memory");

        /* Checkstop reset enable -- Sec. 5.3 of MPC8260UM.pdf */
        cc->car_rmr = 0x80000000;

        msr = mfmsr();
        mtmsr(msr & ~MSR_ME);

        dummy = cc->res[0];
        BUG();
}
