[PATCH 5/6] common: add mem_test routine

Alexander Aring alex.aring at gmail.com
Thu Feb 7 05:44:59 EST 2013


Useful to detect timing problems if someone porting a new
device to barebox.

This test includes a data bus test, address bus test and
integrity check of memory.

Allocated barebox regions between start and end will skip
automatically.

+	 * Notes:	For best results, the selected base

+	 *              guarantee single address bit changes.

+	 * ## NOTE ##	Be sure to specify start and end

+	 *              lots of bits set. For example an
