[PATCH 0/2] ARM: da850: new drivers for better LCDC support

This series adds two new drivers in order to better support the LCDC
rev1 present on the da850 boards.

The first patch adds a new memory driver which allows to write to the
DDR2/mDDR memory controller present on the da8xx SoCs. Since the
memory controller region is not mapped by anyone else, I went with
platform_get_resource() and ioremap() approach.

The second patch adds a new bus driver which allows to interact with
the MSTPRI registers of the SYSCFG0 module. The SYSCFG0 registers
are used by many drivers, hence the syscon/regmap approach.

As is mentioned in the comments: we don't want to commit to supporting
stable interfaces (DT bindings or sysfs attributes) so we hardcode the
settings required by some boards (for now only da850-lcdk) with the
hope that linux gets an appropriate framework for performance knobs
in the future.

Potential extensions of these drivers should be straightforward in the
future.

Tested on a da850-lcdk with a display connected over VGA and some
additional work on the tilcdc driver.

NOTE I'm sending this as v1, but it's a follow-up to a series I sent
previously and the RFC with the ddrctl driver. I dropped the dt patch
for now.
