aaf461f9ad ARM: keystone2: spl: Fix stack allocation with CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
If CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN is enabled, the stack is moved down to the
specified size to make the malloc function available before relocation.
But on keystone platforms SYS_SPL_MALLOC is immediately preceding stack,
which is causing an overlap with this config enabled.
So leave a gap between malloc space and stack space.

ddf56bc7e3 drivers: Introduce a simplified remoteproc framework
Many System on Chip(SoC) solutions are complex with multiple processors
on the same die dedicated to either general purpose of specialized
functions. Many examples do exist in today's SoCs from various vendors.
Typical examples are micro controllers such as an ARM M3/M0 doing a
offload of specific function such as event integration or power
management or controlling camera etc.

Traditionally, the responsibility of loading up such a processor with a
firmware and communication has been with a High Level Operating
System(HLOS) such as Linux. However, there exists classes of products
where Linux would need to expect services from such a processor or the
delay of Linux and operating system being able to load up such a
firmware is unacceptable.

To address these needs, we need some minimal capability to load such a
system and ensure it is started prior to an Operating System(Linux or
any other) is started up.

NOTE: This is NOT meant to be a solve-all solution, instead, it tries to
address certain class of SoCs and products that need such a solution.

A very simple model is introduced here as part of the initial support
that supports microcontrollers with internal memory (no MMU, no
execution from external memory, or specific image format needs). This
basic framework can then (hopefully) be extensible to other complex SoC
processor support as need be.

bc3199fd18 configs: am335x_evm: Support distro bootcmds
Add support for distro bootcmds and network booting while retaining
backwards compatibility with the current "legacy" setup. With these
changes the default boot sequence becomes:

* SD card (standard distro boot)
* SD card (legacy boot)
* EMMC (standard distro boot)
* EMMC (legacy boot)
* Nand (legacy boot)
* PXE (standard distro boot)
* DHCP (standard distro boot)

The older boot scripts have some overlap with what the distro
bootcommands to however i've left them unchanged to prevent introduction
of subtle bugs.

59d03cb377 config_distro_bootcmd.h: Use a private variable for bootpart
Hush has an oddity where using ${var} causes var to resolved in the the global
address space (iotw the environment) first and only afterwards will the local
variable space be searched.

This causes odd side-effects when iterating over the boot partitions
using ${bootpart} if the environment also has a bootpart variable (e.g. for
the various TI boards). Fix this by using the hopefully more unique
${distro_bootpart} instead of ${bootpart}.

e0ae64880b x86: Add support for Advantech SOM-6896
Advantech SOM-6896 is a Broadwell U based COM Express Compact Module
Type 6. This patch adds support for it as a coreboot payload.

On board SATA and SPI are functional. On board Ethernet isn't functional
but since it's optional and ties up a PCIe x4 that is otherwise brought
out, this isn't a concern at the moment. USB doesn't work since the
xHCI driver appears to be broken.

9e98b7e3c5 cmd: bootvx: Always get VxWorks bootline from env
So far VxWorks bootline can be contructed from various environment
variables, but when these variables do not exist we get these from
corresponding config macros. This is not helpful as it requires
rebuilding U-Boot, and to make sure these config macros take effect
we should not have these environment variables. This is a little
bit complex and confusing.

Now we change the logic to always contruct the bootline from
environments (the only single source), by adding two new variables
"bootdev" and "othbootargs", and adding some comments about network
related settings mentioning they are optional. The doc about the
bootline handling is also updated.

i.e. we finally broke through the 256k monitor size.  Jump it

at the same time.

We were probably flirting with the 256k size issue without

f532727d16 imx_watchdog: Add a header file for watchdog registers
Create fsl_wdog.h to store the watchdog registers and bit fields.

This can be useful when accesses to the watchdog block are made from other
parts, such as arch/arm/ cpu code.

040ef8f565 pcm052: fix MTD partitioning
MTD partitioning in current pcm052 configuration is inconsistent.
Fix it across MTDPARTS_DEFAULT, CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS, and
CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET[_REDUND].

e392b923ed arndale: Apply Cortex-A15 errata #773022 and #774769
We run 4 Arndale boards in our automated test framework, they have
been running quite happily for quite some time using a Debian Wheezy
userspace.

However when upgrading to a Debian Jessie we started seeing frequent
segmentation faults from gcc when building the kernel, to the extent
that it is unable to successfully build the kernel twice in a row, and
often fails on the first attempt.

Searching around I found https://bugs.launchpad.net/arndale/+bug/1081417
which pointed towards http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm-arm/msg03723.html
and CPU Errata 773022 and 774769.

This errata needs to be applied to all processors in an SMP system,
meaning that the usual strategy of applying them in
arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S is not appropriate (since that applies to
the boot processor only). Instead we apply these errata in the secure
monitor which is code that is traversed by all processors as they are
brought up.

The net affect on Arndale is that ACTLR changes from 0x40 to
0x2000042. I ran 17 kernel compile iterations overnight with no
segfaults.

Runtime testing was done on our v2014.10 based branch and forward
ported (with only minimal and trivial contextual conflicts) to current
master, where it has been build tested only.

I suppose in theory these errata apply to any Exynos5250 based boards,
but Arndale is the only one I have access to and I have therefore
chosen to be conservative and only apply it there.

Also, reorder CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072 in README to make the list
numerically sorted.
