Thanks for the submission! It looks pretty good, but has one main mistake
in being incompatible with ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM. I think that should be easy
to fix. There are also a few minor issues that can be improved.

To enable multiplatform support, please move this to its own
arch/arm/mach-asm9260/Kconfig file and make it depend on ARCH_MULTI_V5,
then remove all 'select' statements that are implicitly enabled there
already (most of the above).

You can remove most of these and just leave the one line.

This file should be removed, nowadays we use AUTO_ZRELADDR, which is
implied by multiplatform.

This should not be necessary, as all drivers are supposed to
ioremap their own device registers. For large register ranges
that are used a lot, you could use these as an optimization to
get 1 MB sections mapped using a large TLB entry, but usually
the benefit is very small.

When you don't do anything else in the init_machine callback, you can
remove it entirely.
