This series adds board support for the Freebox Nodebox 10G, a network
appliance based on the Marvell Armada 8040 SoC (AP806 + dual CP110).
The series is structured as follows:
Patch 1 adds CPU and clock information display for Armada 8K platforms
by reading the AP806 Sample-At-Reset register. This is ported from
Marvell's vendor U-Boot 2015.01.
Patch 2 adds the board directory, device tree, defconfig, and board
initialization (management PHY reset via GPIO).
Patch 3 adds a U-Boot dtsi overlay for conditional OP-TEE support.
Patch 4 adds the "emmcboot" command to load and boot firmware stored
in the board-specific image format (mvebu_image_tag) at fixed eMMC
offsets. Each image bundles a kernel and device tree under a CRC32-
validated tag header. Two image banks are supported with automatic
fallback based on a bit-field reboot counter.
Patch 5 adds the "fbxserial" command to read factory-programmed device
serial numbers and MAC addresses from a dedicated eMMC region. The
board file hooks EVT_SETTINGS_R to set MAC addresses before network
drivers probe.
Note: the emmcboot and fbxserial commands are hardware-specific and
require the actual board for testing, so no sandbox tests are included.
Based on v2026.04-rc4.
