+Driver implementing the fuse API for Freescale's IC Identification Module (IIM)
+
+This IP can be found on the following SoCs:
+ - MPC512x,
+ - i.MX25,
+ - i.MX27,
+ - i.MX31,
+ - i.MX35,
+ - i.MX51,
+ - i.MX53.
+
+The section numbers in this file refer to the i.MX25 Reference Manual.
+
+A fuse word contains 8 fuse bit slots, as explained in 30.4.2.2.1.
+
+A bank contains 256 fuse word slots, as shown by the memory map in 30.3.1.
+
+Some fuse bit or word slots may not have the corresponding fuses actually
+implemented in the fusebox.
+
+See the README files of the SoCs using this driver in order to know the
+conventions used by U-Boot to store some specific data in the fuses, e.g. MAC
+addresses.
+
+Fuse operations:
+
+ Read
+ Read operations are implemented as read accesses to the shadow registers,
+ using "Word y of Bank x" from the register summary in 30.3.2. This is
+ explained in detail in 30.4.5.1.
+

+
+ Program
+ Program operations are implemented as explained in 30.4.5.3. Following
+ this operation, the shadow registers are reloaded by the hardware (not
+ immediately, but this does not make any difference for a user reading
+ these registers).
+
+ Override
+ Override operations are implemented as write accesses to the shadow
+ registers, as explained in 30.4.5.4.

+Configuration:

+Fuse API functions and commands
+
+The fuse API allows to control a fusebox and how it is used by the upper
+hardware layers.
+
+A fuse corresponds to a single non-volatile memory bit that can be programmed
+(i.e. blown, set to 1) only once. The programming operation is irreversible. A
+fuse that has not been programmed reads 0.
+
+Fuses can be used by SoCs to store various permanent configuration and data,
+e.g. boot configuration, security configuration, MAC addresses, etc.
+
+A fuse word is the smallest group of fuses that can be read at once from the
+fusebox control IP registers. This is limited to 32 bits with the current API.
+
+A fuse bank is the smallest group of fuse words having a common ID, as defined
+by each SoC.
+
+Upon startup, the fusebox control IP reads the fuse values and stores them to a
+volatile shadow cache.
+
+See the README files of the drivers implementing this API in order to know the
+SoC- and implementation-specific details.
+
+Functions / commands:
+
+ int fuse_read(u32 bank, u32 word, u32 *val);
+ fuse read <bank> <word> [<cnt>]
+ Read fuse words from the shadow cache.
+
+ int fuse_sense(u32 bank, u32 word, u32 *val);
+ fuse sense <bank> <word> [<cnt>]
+ Sense - i.e. read directly from the fusebox, skipping the shadow cache -
+ fuse words. This operation does not update the shadow cache.
+
+ This is useful to know the true value of fuses if an override has been
+ performed (see below).
+
+ int fuse_prog(u32 bank, u32 word, u32 val);
+ fuse prog [-y] <bank> <word> <hexval> [<hexval>...]
+ Program fuse words. This operation directly affects the fusebox and is
+ irreversible. The shadow cache is updated accordingly or not, depending on
+ each IP.
+
+ Only the bits to be programmed should be set in the input value (i.e. for
+ fuse bits that have already been programmed and hence should be left
+ unchanged by a further programming, it is preferable to clear the
+ corresponding bits in the input value in order not to perform a new
+ hardware programming operation on these fuse bits).
+
+ int fuse_override(u32 bank, u32 word, u32 val);
+ fuse override <bank> <word> <hexval> [<hexval>...]
+ Override fuse words in the shadow cache.
+
+ The fusebox is unaffected, so following this operation, the shadow cache
+ may differ from the fusebox values. Read or sense operations can then be
+ used to get the values from the shadow cache or from the fusebox.
+
+ This is useful to change the behaviors linked to some cached fuse values,
+ either because this is needed only temporarily, or because some of the
+ fuses have already been programmed or are locked (if the SoC allows to
+ override a locked fuse).
+
+Configuration:
+
+ CONFIG_CMD_FUSE
+ Define this to enable the fuse commands.
