Remove long-obsolete text about "erase_check" affecting "flash info" output.
Move parts of that text to "protect_check", where it's still relevant; and
update the "flash info" description to mention the issue.
(This is still awkward. It might be best to make "protect_check" mirror
"erase_check" by dumping what it finds, so "flash info" doesn't dump any
potentially-stale cache info.)

The "-f" is a shortcut for "-c" ... and providing any "-c" options
means the "openocd.cfg" file isn't implicitly used. Both the User's
Guide and the manual page were weak on these points, which has led
to some confusion.
Also update the manual page to include highlights of the search path
mechanism, including the facts that it exists and that "-s" adds to it.
Stop saying only the current directory is involved; the OpenOCD
script library is quite significant.
(Missing: complete manpage coverage of the search path, including a
FILES section listing all components and saying where the script
library is found.)

Highlight the needs to properly jumper development boards; to
make the OpenOCD configuration match the jumpering; and to have
a usable "reset-init" method when debugging early boot code.
Specific mention of the "ATX Mode" that seems useful on
many i.MX boards, forcing NAND boot.

Folk almost certainly want to have OpenOCD compute the checksum
when they modify the vector table. However, that almost guarantees
that "verify_image" will fail.

Identical to the existing 2412/2443 support except for the base address
and NFCONF value (bit 2 is reserved and should be written as 1 ref UM).
Tested on a s3c6410 board, but controller is identical in 6400/6410
except for 8bit MLC ECC support in 6410 which isn't supported by the
driver.

Capture various bits of useful information that have come up on the
list but haven't yet gotten into the documentation:
- Watchdog timers firing during JTAG debug need attention;
- Some chips have special registers to help JTAG debug;
- Cortex-M3 stepping example with IRQs and maskisr;
- Clarifications re adaptive clocking: not all ARMs do it, and
explain it a bit better.

Add a NOR flash mechanism where erase_address ranges can be padded
out to sector boundaries, triggering a diagnostic:

This addresses what would otherwise be something of a functional
regression. An earlier version of the interface had a dangerous
problem: it would silently erase data outside the range it was
told to erase. Fixing that bug turned up some folk who relied on
that unsafe behavior. (The classic problem with interface bugs!)
Now they can get that behavior again. If they really need it,
just specify "pad".

The "parport_port" commands generally don't *require* a port_number;
they're of the "apply any parameter, then print result" variety. Update
the User's Guide accordingly.
Some of those commands are intended to be write-once: parport_port,
and parport_cable. Say so.
Use proper EBNF for the parport_write_on_exit parameter.
Parport address 0xc8b8 is evidently mutant. Say so in the "parport.cfg"
file, to avoid breaking anyone with that mutant config. But update the
User's Guide to include a sane example for the LP2 port.
Finally document the "presto_serial" command.

Most commands are usable only at runtime; so don't bother saying
that, it's noise. Moreover, tokens like EXEC are cryptic. Be
more clear: highlight only the commands which may (also) be used
during the config stage, thus matching the docs more closely.
There are
- Configuration commands (per documentation)
- And also some commands that valid at *any* time.
Update the docs to note that "help" now shows this mode info.
This also highlighted a few mistakes in command configuration,
mostly commands listed as "valid at any time" which shouldn't
have been. This just fixes ones I noted when sanity testing.
