[RFC/PATCHv2 0/5] Add support for Marvell's RD-DXBC2

Here's my updated series for Marvell's reference board. I had hoped to
send this before 3.19-rc1 but I missed by a few days.

The new 1/5 patch was sent to the devicetree ML. So far not much
feedback. 2/5 depends on it so I've included it in the series. It would
be possible to remove the dependency by using the CFLAGS_boardv7.o
trick and if/when the dtc change is accepted it could be cleaned up
along with the others.

I haven't had any (recent) feedback on patches 3-5, understandable this
time of year. These are unchanged since v1[1].

The more information I get out of Marvell the more I'm starting to see
this thing as a parallel development to the Armada-XP as opposed to a
direct descendent. In particular because the integrated packet processor
shares some clock sources with the CPU block there is a new "DFX" (no
idea what that stands for) block that replaces a lot of the SaR and
clocking registers from the Armada.

I'll probably have to create new clock drivers instead of using
armada-xp-cpu-clock. No problem for the driver itself but the device
tree becomes problematic. I can't use armada-xp-.dtsi because it already
uses the "cpuclk:" label which I can't re-define with a new node. There
are a couple of options. One is to split the common peripherals out into
individual .dtsi files (see arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl) which may not be
a bad thing since some of these are common to kirkwood/orion also.
Another approach might be to move the labeling to the final .dts files
which would allow us to pick which potential clocksource/driver gets
the label "cpuclk:"

Thanks,
Chris
