For quite a long time we've been using a 3 week, rather than 2 week,
merge window as it was only 2 weeks during the timeframe where we did 2
month rather than 3 month releases. This corrects the places that still
had 2 weeks and tries to make things a bit clearer overall.

Migrate the RelaseCycle wiki page to Sphinx. In terms of visible
changes, we stop having a dynamic countdown to when the release is. And
we drop the year-based statistics, that were not being kept up to date.
For the moment, we only link to statistics for v2022.07 but will add
back the historical data in a subsequent patch.

The "Workflow of a Custodian" section on the wiki had not been changed
in quite some time to reflect how the process has been functioning for
some time. First, update some links to point to modern and current
sources of information.
Second, and more overarching, reword much of the section. This expands
on the expectations of both custodians and developers when it comes to
rebasing patches. Rework the final points to be clearer that Custodians
are expected to do their best to test the changes and ask for help when
needed, as well as that pull requests are expected in a timely manner.

The BootROM of MT7621 requires a image header for SPL to record its size
and load address when booting from NAND.
To create such an image, one can use the following command line:
mkimage -T mtk_image -a 0x80200000 -e 0x80200000 -n "mt7621=1"
-d u-boot-spl-ddr.bin u-boot-spl-ddr.img

If the payload is compressed, SPL_COPY_PAYLOAD_ONLY should always be set
since the payload will not be directly read to its load address. The
payload will first be read to a temporary buffer, and then be decompressed
to its load address, without image header.
If the payload is not compressed, and SPL_COPY_PAYLOAD_ONLY is set, image
header should be skipped on loading. Otherwise image header should also be
read to its load address.

The address returned by regmap_get_range() is not remapped. Directly r/w
to this address is ok for ARM platforms since it's idential to the virtual
address.
But for MIPS platform only virtual address should be used for access.
To solve this issue, the regmap api regmap_read/regmap_write should be used
since they will remap address before accessing.

The iobase address from dts node is actually physical address. It's
identical to the virtual address in ARM platform. This is ok because this
driver was used only by ARM platforms (mt7622/mt7623 ...).
But now this driver will be used by mt7621 which is a MIPS SoC. For MIPS
platform the physical address space is mapped to KSEG0 and KSEG1 and this
makes the virtual address apparently not idential to its physical address.
To solve this issue, this patch replaces dev_read_addr with dev_remap_addr
to get the remapped iobase address.

Unlike the ARM platform, MMU is not used in u-boot for MIPS. Instead, KSEG
is provided to access uncached memory. So most code of this patch is copied
from cache.c of ARM platform, with only two differences:
1. MMU is untouched in noncached_set_region()
2. Address returned by noncached_alloc() is converted using KSEG1ADDR()
