Now that rpi_*defconfig and Kconfig (rather than the config header file)
provide the identity of the build, we don't need to separate config
headers and board directories for each RPi variant. Set CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
and CONFIG_SYS_CONFIG_NAME so that we can get rid of the duplication. This
requires a tiny number of extra ifdefs in the config header.
The only disadvantage of this approach is that the $board/$board_name
environment variables aren't as descriptive as they used to be. This isn't
really an issue because those only exist to allow scripts to create DTB
filenames at runtime. However, the RPi board code already sets $fdtfile to
something more accurate based on FW-reported board ID anyway.
While at it, unify some Kconfig select options, and add a MAINTAINERS
entry for bcm283x too.

On all Pis so far, the VC FW provides a short stub to set up the ARM CPU
before entering the kernel (a/k/a U-Boot for us). This feature is not
currently supported by the VC FW when booting in 64-bit mode. However,
this feature will likely appear in the near future, and this U-Boot port
assumes that such a feature is in place. Without that feature, or a
temporary workaround described below, U-Boot will not boot.
Once the VC FW does provide the ARM stub, u-boot.bin built for rpi_3 can
be used drectly as kernel7.img, in the same way as any other RPi port. The
following config.txt is required:
# Fix mini UART input frequency, and setup/enable up the UART.
# Without this option, U-Boot will not boot, even if you don't care
# about the serial console. This option will always be required for
# all RPi3 use-cases, unless the PL011 UART is used, which is not
# yet supported by rpi_3* builds of U-Boot.
enable_uart=1
# Boot in AArch64 (64-bit) mode.
# It is possible that a future VC FW will remove the need for this
# option, instead auto-setting 32-/64-bit mode based on the "kernel"
# filename present on the SD card.
arm_control=0x200
Prior to the VC FW providing the ARM boot stub, you can use the following
steps to build an equivalent stub into the U-Boot binary:
git clone https://github.com/swarren/rpi-3-aarch64-demo.git \
../rpi-3-aarch64-demo
(cd ../rpi-3-aarch64-demo && ./build.sh)
Build U-Boot for rpi_3 in the usual way
cat ../rpi-3-aarch64-demo/armstub64.bin u-boot.bin > u-boot.bin.stubbed
Use u-boot.bin.stubbed as kernel7.img on the Pi SD card.
In this case, the following additional entries are required in config.txt:
# Tell the FW to load the kernel image at address 0, the reset vector.
kernel_old=1

The Raspberry Pi 3 contains a BCM2837 SoC. The BCM2837 is a BCM2836 with
the CPU complex swapped out for a quad-core ARMv8. This can operate in 32-
or 64-bit mode. 32-bit mode is the current default selected by the
VideoCore firmware on the Raspberry Pi 3. This patch adds a 32-bit port of
U-Boot for the Raspberry Pi 3.
>From U-Boot's perspective, the only delta between the RPi 2 and RPi 3 is a
change in usage of the SoC UARTs. On all previous Pis, the PL011 was the
only UART in use. The Raspberry Pi 3 adds a Bluetooth module which uses a
UART to connect to the SoC. By default, the PL011 is used for this purpose
since it has larger FIFOs than the other "mini" UART. However, this can
be configured via the VideoCore firmware's config.txt file. This patch
hard-codes use of the mini UART in the RPi 3 port. If your system uses the
PL011 UART for the console even on the RPi 3, please use the RPi 2 U-Boot
port instead. A future change might determine which UART to use at
run-time, thus allowing the RPi 2 and RPi 3 (32-bit) ports to be squashed
together.
The mini UART has some limitations. One externally visible issue in the
BCM2837 integration is that the UART divides the SoC's "core clock" to
generate the baud rate. The core clock is typically variable, and under
control of the VideoCore firmware for thermal management reasons. If the
VC FW does modify the core clock rate, UART communication will be
corrupted since the baud rate will vary from the expected value. This was
not an issue for the PL011 UART, since it is fed by a fixed 3MHz clock. To
work around this, the VideoCore firmware can be told not to modify the SoC
core clock. However, the only way this can happen and be thermally safe is
to limit the core clock to a low/minimum frequency. This leaves
performance on the table for use-cases that don't care about a UART
console. Consequently, use of the mini UART console must be explicitly
requested by entering the following line into config.txt:
enable_uart=1
A recent version of the VC firmware is required to ensure that the mini
UART is fully and correctly initialized by the VC FW; at least
firmware.git 046effa13ebc "firmware: arm_loader: emmc clock depends on
core clock See: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/572".

Some archs/boards specify their own default by pre-defining the config
which causes the Kconfig system to mix up the order of the configs in
the defconfigs... This will cause merge pain if allowed to proliferate.
Remove the configs that behave this way from the archs.
A few configs still remain, but that is because they only exist as
defaults and do not have a proper Kconfig entry. Those appear to be:

As mentioned in the previous commit, adding default values in each
Kconfig causes problems because it does not co-exist with the
"depends on" syntax. (Please note this is not a bug of Kconfig.)
We should not do so unless we have a special reason. Actually,
for CONFIG_DM*, we have no good reason to do so.
Generally, CONFIG_DM is not a user-configurable option. Once we
convert a driver into Driver Model, the board only works with Driver
Model, i.e. CONFIG_DM must be always enabled for that board.
So, using "select DM" is more suitable rather than allowing users to
modify it. Another good thing is, Kconfig warns unmet dependencies
for "select" syntax, so we easily notice bugs.
Actually, CONFIG_DM and other related options have been added
without consistency: some into arch/*/Kconfig, some into
board/*/Kconfig, and some into configs/*_defconfig.
This commit prefers "select" and cleans up the following issues.
[1] Never use "CONFIG_DM=n" in defconfig files
It is really rare to add "CONFIG_FOO=n" to disable CONFIG options.
It is more common to use "# CONFIG_FOO is not set". But here, we
do not even have to do it.
Less than half of OMAP3 boards have been converted to Driver Model.
Adding the default values to arch/arm/cpu/armv7/omap3/Kconfig is
weird. Instead, add "select DM" only to appropriate boards, which
eventually eliminates "CONFIG_DM=n", etc.
[2] Delete redundant CONFIGs
Sandbox sets CONFIG_DM in arch/sandbox/Kconfig and defines it again
in configs/sandbox_defconfig.
Likewise, OMAP3 sets CONFIG_DM arch/arm/cpu/armv7/omap3/Kconfig and
defines it also in omap3_beagle_defconfig and devkit8000_defconfig.

The BCM283[56] contain both a L1 and L2 cache between the GPU (a/k/a
VideoCore CPU?) and DRAM. DMA-capable peripherals can also optionally
access DRAM via this same L2 cache (although they always bypass the L1
cache). Peripherals select whether to use or bypass the cache via the
top two bits of the bus address.
An IOMMU exists between the ARM CPU and the rest of the system. This
controls whether the ARM CPU's accesses use or bypass the L1 and/or L2
cache. This IOMMU is configured/controlled exclusively by the VideoCore
CPU.
In order for DRAM accesses made by the ARM core to be coherent with
accesses made by other DMA peripherals, we must program a bus address
into those peripherals that causes the peripheral's accesses to use the
same set of caches that the ARM core's accesses will use.
On the RPi1, the VideoCore firmware sets up the IOMMU to enable use of
the L2 cache. This corresponds to addresses based at 0x40000000.
On the RPi2, the VideoCore firmware sets up the IOMMU to disable use of
the L2 cache. This corresponds to addresses based at 0xc0000000.
This patch implements U-Boot's phys_to_bus/bus_to_phys APIs according
to those rules.
