[PATCH 0/5] arm: mvebu: turris_omnia: Fix hangup in debug UART

If proper U-Boot on Turris Omnia tries to print something on debug UART
then CPU hangs. Reason is that debug UART in proper U-Boot for Turris
Omnia has incorrect configuration of base register. Base register is
different in SPL and also in different stages of proper U-Boot.

Fix all these issues. Introduce new arch_very_early_init() ARM function
which will be called at very early stage prior initialization of debug
UART. Move code which moves internal mvebu registers to this function.
And split configuration of DEBUG_UART_BASE into SPL and proper U-Boot
to allow setting different values which matches current HW status.

With all these changes, it is possible call "printf" function in
Turris Omnia's board_early_init_f() function in both SPL and proper
U-Boot.
