[PATCH 00/10] ARM: mvebu: Hardware coherency support for Armada 375 and 38x

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Jason, Gregory, Andrew, Sebastian,

This set of patches add hardware coherency support for the new Armada
375 and Armada 38x SoCs. The patch set can be divided in three
sections:

 * Patches 1, 2, 3 and 4 prepare the introduction of the support for
   new SoC in the existing coherency code.

   The main change is that the mvebu-mbus driver no longer pokes into
   the Device Tree to find whether hardware I/O coherency is available
   or not: this information is passed as argument to the mvebu-mbus
   initialization function. This avoids changing the mvebu-mbus driver
   to add the compatible strings of all possible coherency fabrics,
   and also avoids encoding specific conditions in the mvebu-mbus
   driver: on Armada 375 and 38x, the hardware I/O coherency can only
   be enabled in SMP mode.

   These preparation patches had already been sent in the past
   (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/290780). This
   round has taken into account the comments I had received on this
   early version.

 * Patches 5, 6, 7 and 8 add the coherency support itself. Patch 4
   enables the SCU, patch 5 adds I/O coherency support for 375, patch
   6 adds a major workaround to make coherency support actually work
   on early 375 SOCs and patch 7 adds I/O coherency support for 38x.

 * Patches 9 and 10 add the necessary Device Tree informations to
   enable the coherency.

Best regards,

Thomas
