[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 0/2] Factorize ARM startup code as mush as possible.

[Albert ARIBAUD]

The goal of this series is to scrub the start.S files
which have proliferated across arch/arm and eliminate
code redundancy.

Currently this series only factorizes the C runtime
framework, that is, the assembly code responsible for
setting up the C environments needed by board_init_*()
and relocate_code().

Further factorization is possible: relocate_code() can
be moved out and possibly rewritten in C now that it
has plain C function semantics; exception handlers
should also be pretty much cpu-independent.

Eventually, start.S files should disappear or contain
CPU-specific code only.

The new C runtime setup sequence has been validated step by
step on target versatileqemu using toolchain ELDK4.2.

The whole changes have been build-tested across all ARM
targets using MAKEALL -a arm.

Changes in v3:
- various clarifications and typo fixes
- fixed wrong LED calls conditional
- fixed open comment eating some code
- fixed code overrun in SPL case
Series-changes: 2
- moved description from cover letter to patch commit msg
- added note about tests in the cover letter
- fixed baords with CONFIG_SPL but not CONFIG_SPL_STACK
- no change

Changes in v2:
- introduced in V2

  arm: move C runtime setup code in crt0.S
  arm: remove useless code in start.S files
