applied to mvebu/cleanup

applied to mvebu/drivers as there doesn't appear to be a drivers/bus
maintainer other than arm-soc contributions...

small note: I had to remove line 9 '/dts-v1/;' from orion5x-88f5182.dtsi
in order to get orion5x-lacie-ethernet-disk-mini-v2.dts to build.

I squashed this change into:

  arm: mach-orion5x: convert to use mvebu-mbus driver

applied patches 5-10 to mvebu/soc


Very well organized to facilitate import and reduce dependency
headaches, Thanks!

thx,

Jason.
