[RFC PATCH 0/5] ARM: mv78x00: First step to convert mv78x00 to Device Tree

[Gregory CLEMENT]

Hello,

This patch set is a first step in order to convert mach-mv78x00 to
device tree before it joins mach-mvebu.

I managed to test it on the RD-78X00-mASA board. All the peripherals I
have tested work as they work before the migration to the device tree:
- UART
- Ethernet
- USB
- SATA

My main concern is that the mv78x00 are MP but not SMP
capable. Currently the same kernel run on the 2 cores and it is in the
board file that the peripherals are assigned for each CPU. (Actually I
didn't test this behavior, but the code is written in this way.)

I don't know how to assign a peripheral to a given CPU with the device
tree. The only way I have in mind is to have a dts per CPU, but I am
not sure it is very convenient.

So for now the code assigns all the peripherals to the CPU.

I am also concerned by the 2 other boards: the Marvell DB-78x00-BP
Development Board and the Buffalo WLX (Terastation Duo) NAS. I don't
have them and so I can't test them if I want to convert them to device
tree too.

Comments and ideas are welcome

Thanks,
