Marek VasutandHeinrich Schuchardt dc3765ede5 doc: Switch from setenv to env set
The "env" command is the recommended environment management command,
its "set" subcommand is the equivalent replacement for legacy "setenv"
command. Update the documentation to use the contemporary "env set"
command instead of legacy "setenv" command.

Note that the "setenv" command is unlikely to be removed from U-Boot
in the near future due to it being integral part of the command line
ABI.

Implemented using:
$ sed -i 's@\<setenv\>@env set@g' $(git grep -li '\<setenv\>' doc/) README

The support for multiple serial interfaces as implemented is mainly
intended to allow for modem dial-in / dial-out while still being able
to use a serial console on a (different) serial port.
MPC8XX Specific
===============
At the moment, the ports must be split on a SMC and a SCC port on a
8xx processor; other configurations are not (yet) supported.
Support for hardware handshake has not been implemented yet (but is
in the works).
*) The default console depends on the keys pressed:
- SMC if keys not pressed (modem not enabled)
- SCC if keys pressed (modem enabled)
*) The console can be switched to SCC by any of the following commands:
env set stdout serial_scc
env set stdin serial_scc
env set stderr serial_scc
*) The console can be switched to SMC by any of the following commands:
env set stdout serial_smc
env set stdin serial_smc
env set stderr serial_smc
*) If a file descriptor is set to "serial" then the current serial device
will be used which, in turn, can be switched by above commands.
*) The baudrate is the same for all serial devices. But it can be switched
just after switching the console:
env set sout serial_scc; env set baudrate 38400
After that press 'enter' at the SCC console. Note that baudrates <38400
are not allowed on LWMON with watchdog enabled (see CFG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE in
include/configs/lwmon.h).
PPC4XX Specific
===============
*) The default console is UART0
*) The console can be switched to UART1 by any of the following commands:
env set stdout serial1
env set stderr serial1
env set stdin serial1
*) The console can be switched to UART0 by any of the following commands:
env set stdout serial0
env set stderr serial0
env set stdin serial0
