mvebu: add inital support for Marvell Armada XP/370 SoCs

This brings in the initial support for the Marvell Armada XP/370 SoCs.
Successfully tested on RD-A370-A1 and DB-MV784MP-GP boards the following
interfaces:

- Ethernet
- SDIO
- GPIOs
- SATA

+
+When mv_xor_channel_add() fails for one XOR channel, we jump to the
+err_channel_add label to clean up all previous channels that had been
+initialized correctly. Unfortunately, while handling this error
+condition, we were disposing the IRQ mapping before calling
+mv_xor_channel_remove() (which does the free_irq()), which is
+incorrect.
+
+Instead, do things properly in the reverse order of the
+initialization: first remove the XOR channel (so that free_irq() is
+done), and then dispose the IRQ mapping.
+
+This avoids ugly warnings when for some reason one of the XOR channel
+fails to initialize.

+When a channel fails to initialize, we release all ressources,

+From: Dmitri Epshtein <dima@marvell.com>
+
+In order for the driver to behave properly in a SMP context, the same
+transmit queue should be used by the kernel in dev_queue_xmit() and in
+the driver's mvneta_tx() function. To achieve that, the driver now
+implements the ->ndo_select_txq() operation.
+
+For now, it always returns the same transmit queue, txq_def, until the
+driver is expanded to properly take advantage of the multiqueue
+capabilities of the hardware.
+
+Without this patch, the network driver crashes the kernel almost
+immediately on Armada XP platforms, if the network load is at least a
+little bit parallel (i.e several threads).

+The Armada XP GPIO controller has two ways of notifying interrupts:
+using global interrupts or using per-CPU interrupts. In an attempt to
+use the best available features, the 'marvell,armadaxp-gpio'
+compatible string selects a variant of the gpio-mvebu driver that
+makes use of the per-CPU interrupts.
+
+Unfortunately, this doesn't work properly in a SMP context, because we
+fall into cases where the GPIO interrupt is enabled on CPU X at the
+GPIO controller level, but on CPU Y at the interrupt controller
+level. It is not yet clear how to fix that easily.
+
+So for 3.8, our approach is to switch to global interrupts for GPIOs,
+so that we do not fall into this per-CPU interrupts problem.
+
+This patch therefore fixes GPIO interrupts on Armada XP
+platforms. Without this patch, GPIO interrupts simply do not work
+reliably, because their proper operation depends on which CPU the code
+requesting the interrupt is running.

+This patch adds a simple Device Tree binding for the mvsdio driver, as

+
+We introduce a small difference between non-DT and DT platforms: DT
+platforms are required to provide a clocks = <...> property, which the
+driver uses to get the frequency of the clock that goes to the SDIO
+IP. The behaviour on non-DT platforms is kept unchanged: a clock
+reference is not mandatory, but the clock frequency must be passed in
+the "clock" field of the mvsdio_platform_data structure.

+Subject: [PATCH] arm: mvebu: Use dw-apb-uart instead of ns16650 as UART
+ driver
+
+The UART controller used in the Armada 370 and Armada XP SoCs is the
+Synopsys DesignWare 8250 (aka Synopsys DesignWare ABP UART). The
+improper use of the ns16550 can lead to a kernel oops during boot if
+a character is sent to the UART before the initialization of the
+driver. The DW APB has an extra interrupt that gets raised when
+writing to the LCR when busy. This explains why we need to use
+dw-apb-uart driver to handle this.
