2d24b532f9 m68knommu: platform support for i2c devices on ColdFire SoC
These changes based on work by Steven King <sfking@fdwdc.com> to support
the i2c hardware modules on ColdFire SoC family devices.

This is the per SoC hardware support. Contains a common platform device
setup. Each of the SoC family members tends to have some minor local
setup required to initialize the module. But all ColdFire family members
use the same i2c hardware module.

This i2c hardware module is the same as used in the Freescale iMX ARM
based family of SoC devices. Steven's original patches were based on using
a new and different i2c-coldfire.c driver. But this is not neccessary as
we can use the existing Linux i2c-imx.c driver with no change required to
it. And this patch is now based on using the existing i2c-imx driver.

This patch only contains the ColdFire platform changes.

bc065e4784 m68knommu: fix early setup to not access variables
The early setup code for the ColdFire 53xx platform accesses variables
before the RAM and other system initialization steps may have taken place.
Currently it has 2 global variables that will end up in the bss section
that are accessed during this early setup. There is a special static RAM
stack setup at this time, but not necessarily the RAM where kernel data
sections will end up.

Even on system setups where RAM is setup by a boot loader the access
to the early setup variables is before the BSS section has been initialized.
This can potentially corrupt a ram loaded root filesystem that sits in that
memory area before it has been moved.

These 2 variables are not used at all after being set, and can just be
removed.

f86b9e0383 m68k: move coldfire platform code
Move the m68k ColdFire platform support code directory to be with the
existing m68k platforms. Although the ColdFire is not a platform as such,
we have always kept all its support together. No reason to change that
as this time.
