This patch allows a board configuration file to provide a default
chip-select for serial flash so that first argument to the 'sf' command
is optional.

On boards that use the mxc_spi driver and a GPIO for chip select, this

allows a much simpler command line:
        U-Boot>   sf probe

instead of

        U-Boot>   sf probe 0x5300

NAK (to this version of the patch): missing README update, and other
issues below

Which README? The only references I find to serial flash support
are in board-specific README files.

all new CONFIG_xxx defines should be documented in the top level README.
granted, the existin SF ones have slipped in without being documented, but
that's bad for them ;).


Ok. I'll re-send with README updates.

--- a/common/cmd_sf.c
+++ b/common/cmd_sf.c

-       if (*endp == ':') {
-               if (endp[1] == 0)
-                       return -1;
+       }
+#else
+       cs = CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_CS ;
+#endif

you're setting the default CS, not locking it in.  so a better config
knob name

would be something like:
        CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS

this matches the existing CONFIG_SF_XXX defines

also, you have a spurious space before the semicolon there

Thanks Mike,

FWIW, I chose this name on purpose to make life easier on a couple of
other boards immediately (efika and vision2):

those boards are dumb -- that define isn't used anywhere, so that's just dead
code.  cmd_sf has a standard already, so new defines specific to cmd_sf should
follow that.

Ok. I'll let their maintainers update appropriately.
