I do not have dt board to test as I've moving for few days

if you can test the v2 on this it will be nice

I've test it on vexpress and at91 (I switch them all)

I was also thinking also to pass the archid to barebox via r1 as done on the
kernel

as on at91bootstrap we are already passing it

we could also use r2 to give dtb add if the first stage handle

so barebox could boot as a linux kernel too

here I've an issue some SoC need late_init and other init

so I was thinking to have soc_desc too

with mmu_init and mem_init yes

yeah
