Soo many patches ;). You can safely combine all these into two
patches, one for the nios2 support and one for the generic board.
The patches are only useful as a whole anyway, so no need to split
them up that fine. You will hit the list limit, so give me some time
to go to the moderator interface and and it through.

I'm not through all patches, but some remarks here:

There is some whitespace damage all around like spaces which should be
tabs.

Is that a "Linux rule" ? Is there other ones ? (I always convert tabs to whitespaces....).
 
Also, please do not use direct pointer derefs to access registers.
You should use readl/writel accessors for them.


Okay I will.
 
Thanks for doing this work. Although I don't have a nios baord, I really
appreciate extending barebox to more architectures.

Barebox is so much better than Uboot, you guys did a really good job. Barebox
even helped my to understand some Linux concepts.

Hi Sasha,

I didn't how to split the patches so I splitted everything :) I'll fight with git to revert my commits and do it again...

This port is working but it's going to be a long process including it in barebox git because I don't have a lot of time
(my baby boy needs my time) and I'm not a git master at all, I'm just an hardware guy playing with the kernel (why the 
hell it is so complicated ? I think it is kind of a filter/test for patchers. If you can't use git you can't send patches ;)).

Souldn't be less complicated if I had a separate branch to work on it ?
