This is a great conversion, but I'd like to see the code handled a
little differently.

First of all, there's no longer a need to have a config option for 
MACH_LINKSTATION_LSCHL, as long as ARCH_ORION5X_DT is enabled you'll
be fine. So you can remove that Kconfig entry alltogether.

Also, there's no need to make the DT addition and the legacy platform
removal in one commit. It's common that we build up the DT support to the point
that it's at parity, and then remove the legacy board. That way we also don't
entangle DT commits with non-DT commits, which can sometimes be a bit of a pain
(in particular for those who maintain a copy of the DT subdir in another git
repo).

So, mind respinning with this fixed? Thanks!
