b20c38a973 arm: mvebu: Add support for the Armada XP theadorable board
This patch adds support for the Armada XP (MV78260) based theadorable
board. Its equipped with onboard DDR3, UART, ethernet, I2C, SPI NOR,
LCD and SATA (SSD) interfaces / devices.

Two defconfigs are added:

theadorable_defconfig:
The production U-Boot version with a stripped down drivers and feature
list. This removes networking, USB and PCI support.

theadorable_debug_defconfig:
The debugging / testing U-Boot version with full support for all drivers.

aefb8f4c32 mvebu: Support Synology DS414
This adds support for the MV78230 based DS414 NAS by Synology. The
relevant bits have been extracted from the 'synogpl-5004-armadaxp'
package Synology kindly published, garnished with a fair amount of
trial-and-error.

Sadly, support is far from perfect. The major parts I have failed in
are SATA and XHCI support. Details about these and some other things
follow:

Device Tree
-----------

The device tree file armada-xp-synology-ds414.dts has been copied from
Linux and enhanced by recent U-Boot specific changes to
armada-xp-gp.dts.

SATA Support
------------

There is a Marvell 88SX7042 controller attached to PCIe which is
supported by Linux's sata_mv driver but sadly not U-Boot's sata_mv.
I'm not sure if extending the latter to support PCI devices is worth the
effort at all. Porting sata_mv from Linux exceeded my brain's
capacities. :(

XHCI Support
------------

There is an EtronTech EJ168A XHCI controller attached to PCIe which
drives the two rear USB3 ports. After a bit of playing around I managed
to get it recognized by xhci-pci, but never was able to access any
devices attached to it. Enabling it in ds414 board config shows that it
does not respond to commands for whatever reason. The (somewhat) bright
side to it is that it is not even supported in Synology's customized
U-Boot, but that also means nowhere to steal the relevant bits from.

EHCI Support
------------

This seems functional after issuing 'usb start'. At least it detects USB
storage devices, and IIRC reading from them was OK. OTOH Linux fails to
register the controller if 'usb start' wasn't given before in U-Boot.

According to Synology sources, this board seems to support USB device
(gadget?) mode. Though I didn't play around with it.

PCIe Support
------------

This is fine, but trying to gate the clocks of unused lanes will hang
PCI enum. In addition to that, pci_mvebu seems not to support DM_PCI.

DDR3 Training
-------------

Marvell/Synology uses eight PUPs instead of four. Does not look like
this is meant to be customized in mainline U-Boot at all. OTOH I have
no idea what a "PUP" actually is.

PEX Init
--------

Synology uses different values than mainline U-Boot with this patch:
pex_max_unit_get returns 2, pex_max_if_get returns 7 and
max_serdes_lines is set to 7. Not changing this seems to not have an
impact, although I'm not entirely sure it does not cause issues I am not
aware of.

Static Environment
------------------

This allows to boot stock Synology firmware at least. In order to be a
little more flexible when it comes to booting custom kernels, do not
only load zImage partition, but also rd.gz into memory. This way it is
possible to use about 7MB for kernel with piggyback initramfs.

4290252148 mvebu: Introduce kconfig symbols for SoC variants
This patch adds intermediate kconfig symbols which select their SoC
family. Boards then select them instead of the family symbol directly.

f4db6c976c arm: mvebu: Add runtime detection of UART (xmodem) boot-mode
This patch adds runtime detection of the Marvell UART boot-mode (xmodem
protocol). If this boot-mode is detected, SPL will return to the
BootROM to continue the UART booting.

With this patch its now possible, to generate a U-Boot image that
can be booted either from the strapped boot-device (e.g. SPI NOR, MMC,
etc) or via the xmodem protocol from the UART. In the UART case,
the kwboot tool will dynamically insert the UART boot-device type
into the image. And also patch the load address in the header, so
that the mkimage header will be skipped (as its not expected by the
Marvell BootROM).

This simplifies the development for Armada XP / 38x based boards.
As no special images need to be generated by selecting the
MVEBU_BOOTROM_UARTBOOT Kconfig option.

Since the Kconfig option MVEBU_BOOTROM_UARTBOOT is not needed any
more, its now completely removed.

81e33f4b65 arm: mvebu: Move SoC selection (A38X vs AXP) into Kconfig
Until now, the SoC selection for the ARCH_MVEBU platforms has been done
in the config header. Using CONFIG_ARMADA_XP in a non-clear way. As
it needed to get selected for AXP and A38x based boards. This patch
now changes this to move the SoC selection to Kconfig. And also
uses CONFIG_ARCH_MVEBU as a common define for both AXP and A38x.
This makes things a bit clearer - especially for new board additions.

Additionally the defines CONFIG_SYS_MVEBU_DDR_AXP and
CONFIG_SYS_MVEBU_DDR_A38X are replaced with the already available
CONFIG_ARMADA_38X and CONFIG_ARMADA_XP.

And CONFIG_DDR3 is removed, as its not referenced anywhere.

0299c90f39 arm: mvebu: Add SolidRun ClearFog Armada 38x initial support
This patch adds basic support for the SolidRun ClearFog Armada 38x based
board to mainline U-Boot. Supported interfaces / devices are:
- DDR3
- UART
- MMC
- Ethernet port 0 (connected to dedicated PHY)
- I2C

The included DT source was taken from Russell King's ftp server:
http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/clearfog/

With only minor modifications, like the addition of some aliases and the
"u-boot,dm-pre-reloc" property.

944c7a3176 arm: mvebu: Add option to use UART xmodem protocol via kwboot
This patch enables the use of the kwboot tool, to boot mainline U-Boot
on the Marvell Armada XP/38x SoC's. This is done by returning to the
SoC's BootROM after SPL has initialized the SDRAM. We need to make sure
to not reconfigure the internal register space and MBARs. Otherwise
the BootROM will not be able to continue after SPL jumps back to it.

To use this feature, please don't forget to change the BOOT_FROM line
in your board specfic kwbimage.cfg file this way:

    BOOT_FROM uart

Tested on these Marvell eval boards:
DB-MV784MP-GP - Armada XP
DB-88F6820-GP - Armada 38x
