[PATCH v2 1/2] sunxi: A523: Move NSI init routine into generic function

In previous generations of Allwinner SoCs, the memory bus (MBUS) access
arbitration was configured as part of the DRAM top registers. This is no
longer the case with for instance the A133 or A523, which have a dedicated
base address for the bus arbiter that is now called NSI instead of MBUS.
NSI appears to be a later iteration of MBUS design, with new dedicated
registers that resemble the previous MBUS ones. Despite NSI not being
documented in the manual, the A133 BSP includes a nsi driver with some
description of the registers. Like previous generations, it implements
port arbitration priority for DRAM access and also supports an optional
QoS mode based on bandwidth limits.
In preparation for re-using code for other SoCs, factor out the existing
NSI init routine from the A523 DRAM code, which was a bit ad-hoc and A523
specific, into a separate function, and abstract the settings a bit.
No functional change.
