SPARC: CFI flash_read64 defined weak function.

Hello Wolfgang and Stefan,

This is a patch which defines flash_read64 weak in cfi_flash.c, cpu/leon3/cpu_init.c
defines this function for SPARC.

SPARC has implemented __raw_readq, it reads 64-bit from any 32-bit address.

For current SPARC architectures (LEON2 and LEON3) each read from the FLASH must lead to a cache miss. This is because FLASH can not be set non-cacheable since program code resides there, and alternatively disabling cache is poor from performance view, or doing a cache flush between each read is even poorer.

Forcing a cache miss on a SPARC is done by a special instruction "lda" - load alternative space, the alternative space number (ASI) is processor implementation specific and can be found in <asm-sparc/asi.h>.

This patch is also available at

Best Regards,
Daniel Hellstrom

Sorry, patch unusable...
