It was observed that when booting Linux kernel on Intel Cherry Hill
board, unexpected crash happens quite randomly. Sometimes kernel
just oops, while sometimes kernel throws MCE errors and hangs:
mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check: 0 Bank 4: c400000000010151
mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 0 ADDR 130f3f2c0
mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:406c3 TIME 1508160686 SOCKET 0 APIC 0 microcode 363
This looks like a hardware error per mcelog. After debugging, it
seems turning off turbo mode on the processor does not expose this
behavior, although U-Boot runs OK with turbo mode on. Suspect it is
related to an errata of Braswell processor.
To fix this, remove the Braswell cpu driver which does the turbo
mode configuration, and switch to use the generic cpu-x86 driver.
Also there is a configuration option in the FSP that turns on the
turbo mode and that has been turned off too.

This adds support to Intel Cherry Hill board, a board based on
Intel Braswell SoC. The following devices are validated:
- serial port as the serial console
- on-board Realtek 8169 ethernet controller
- SATA AHCI controller
- EMMC/SDHC controller
- USB 3.0 xHCI controller
- PCIe x1 slot with a graphics card
- ICH SPI controller with an 8MB Macronix SPI flash
- Integrated graphics device as the video console
