[RFC PATCH 0/5] arm: Restore minimal support for ST-Ericsson U8500 SoC

[Stephan Gerhold]

This patch series restores minimal U-Boot support for
the ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8500 SoC.

Previous support for U8500 was removed in
commit 68282f55b846 ("arm: Remove unused ST-Ericsson u8500 arch")
since none of the boards were converted to generic boards
before the deadline.

The motivation for adding the SoC and board is explained in
  - Patch 3 ("arm: Add support for ST-Ericsson U8500 SoC") and
  - Patch 5 ("board: Add new Samsung "stemmy" board based on ST-Ericsson U8500")

I have additional patches for MMC, USB, display and the "stemmy"
board, that configure it to provide an Android fastboot interface
with similar functionality as the original Samsung bootloader.
Some of the patches require some additional work, so I thought
it is easier to start with some minimal changes first (only UART).

I think this makes the patch series quite straightforward,
with only ~225 new lines of C code, plus device tree and documentation.
The only patch that stands out with ~1.8k lines is the device tree
import, directly copied (without modification) from the Linux kernel.
