[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 3/8] ARM: bcm283x: Define configs for RaspberryPi 4

Wed Jul 24 14:39:06 UTC 2019


Define two target configs for Raspberry Pi 4 (32 and 64bit) and the
corresponding BCM2838* configs.

Be aware of the current limitation in firmware which requires an
explicit configuration to force the arm in 64bit mode when the
respective target is used.
