[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/5] sbc8641d: misc fixes and generic board enablement

The sbc8641d is not really a state of the art board anymore, but it
does have the distinctive feature of being one of the relatively few
SMP powerpc boards around.  Combined with its small form factor, it
remains a useful testing platform.  So here we enable the generic
board support so that it can remain in tree.

One note worthy of mention is that the same commit that breaks[1] the
sbc8548 board [commit 294b91a58171 ("Set up stdio earlier when using
driver model")] also breaks this board in the identical way (hangs
at "Net:" line during bootup).  So the baseline for run time testing
was one commit prior to that commit that introduced the regressions.  

The fixes are all board specific and a branch off 294b91a58171~ will
merge seamlessly to master, or they can be applied to master; whenever
the regressions of 294b91a58171 are resolved then things will work
again on the tip of tree.
