Please add

	depends on ARCH_MULTI_V5 || ARCH_MULTI_V6

to hide the submenu otherwise. The 'select OF' is redundant and
can be removed.

The two 'depends on ARCH_ASPEED are redundant as well, you already have
the 'if ARCH_ASPEED' around it.

Please try to avoid hardcoding any addresses in the platform file.

We have just introduced of_platform_default_populate() that you could
use here, but the preferred way is to leave out the function entirely
as this is what we do anyway if none is provided.

Can you explain a bit more about this? I would assume that the UART
that is used for the console is working at the point that the bootloader
hands over to the kernel, while the other uarts don't need to be
active this early. Why do you need to do this at such an early stage?

Similarly here: why so early? Is the initial timeout too short to wait
for the watchdog driver to come up? I think it makes sense to require
the watchdog driver to be loaded if a watchdog is enabled during boot,
and that keeps the register access in one place.
