The UART controller used in the Armada 370 and Armada XP SoCs is the
Synopsys DesignWare 8250 (aka Synopsys DesignWare ABP UART). The
improper use of the ns16550 can lead to a kernel oops during boot if
a character is sent to the UART before the initialization of the
driver. The DW APB has an extra interrupt that gets raised when
writing to the LCR when busy. This explains why we need to use
dw-apb-uart driver to handle this.

Marvell SATA and I2C enabling for OpenBlocks AX3-4
Now that we have support for the I2C busses on Armada 370/XP, and
support for the RTC on the OpenBlocks AX3-4 platform, include the
necessary options in mvebu_defconfig.

The purpose of this series is to add the SMP support for the Armada XP
SoCs. Beside the SMP support itself brought by the last 3 commits,
this series also adds the support for the coherency fabric unit and
the power management service unit.
The coherency fabric is responsible for ensuring hardware coherency
between all CPUs and between CPUs and I/O masters. This unit is also
available for Armada 370 and will be used in an incoming patch set
for hardware I/O cache coherency.
The power management service unit is responsible for powering down and
waking up CPUs and other SOC units.

SMP support for Armada XP
The purpose of this series is to add the SMP support for the Armada XP

The power management service unit is responsible for powering down and
waking up CPUs and other SOC units.
This enables SMP support on the Armada XP processor. It adds the
mandatory functions to support SMP such as: the SMP initialization
functions in platsmp.c, the secondary CPU entry point in headsmp.S and
the CPU hotplug initial support in hotplug.c.

The split of 370 and XP into two Kconfig options and the multiplatform
kernel support has changed a few Kconfig symbols, so let's update the
mvebu_defconfig file with the latest changes.
