This is actually required in order for a Linux kernel to boot
successfully on a physical Malta board. Without enabling the RTC, a
Malta Linux kernel will get stuck in its estimate_frequencies function
on boot.

Malta boards may be used with cores which support L2 caches, however
U-boot does not yet support L2 cache for MIPS. Thus for the moment we'll
disable L2 caches by setting the L2B bit in Config2. This is specific to
MTI/Imagination MIPS cores which is why this is done for the Malta board
rather than generically.

Displaying a message on the LCD screen is a simple yet effective way to
show the user that the board has booted successfully.

This patch adds support for running on Malta boards using coreFPGA6
core cards, including support for the msc01 system controller used
with them. The system controller is detected at runtime allowing one
U-boot binary to run on a Malta with either.
Due to the PCI I/O base differing between Maltas using gt64120 & msc01
system controllers, the UART setup is modified slightly. A second UART
is added so that there is one pointing at the correct address for each
system controller. The Malta board then defines its own
default_serial_console function to select the correct one at runtime.
The incorrect UART will simply not function.
Tested on:
- A coreFPGA6 Malta running interAptiv and proAptiv bitstreams, both
with and without an L2 cache.
- QEMU.

On a real Malta the Super I/O needs to be configured before we are able
to access the UARTs. This patch performs that configuration, setting up
the UARTs in the same way that YAMON would.

This is in preparation for adapting this board to function correctly on
a physical MIPS Malta board. The board is moved into an "imgtec" vendor
directory at the same time in order to ready us for any other boards
supported by Imagination in the future.
