This patch updates the mksunxiboot tool to optionally add
the default device tree name string to the SPL header. This
information can be used by the firmware upgrade tools to
protect users from harming themselves by trying to upgrade
to an incompatible bootloader.
The primary use case here is a non-removable bootable media
(such as NAND, eMMC or SPI flash), which already may have
a properly working, but a little bit outdated bootloader
installed. For example, the user may download or build a
new U-Boot image for "Cubieboard", and then attemept to
install it on a "Cubieboard2" hardware by mistake as a
replacement for the already existing bootloader. If this
happens, the flash programming tool can identify this
problem and warn the user.
The size of the SPL header is also increased from 64 bytes
to 96 bytes to provide enough space for the device tree name
string.

Traditionally Allwinner SoCs have their boot ROM mapped just below 4GB,
while the first SRAM region is mapped at address 0.
With the extended physical memory support of the A80 this was changed,
so the BROM is now at address 0 and the SRAM region starts right behind
this at 64KB. This configuration seems to be called "high SRAM".
Instead of enumerating the SoCs which have copied this configuration,
let's call a spade a spade and introduce a Kconfig option for this setup.
SoCs implementing this (A80, A64 and H5, so far), can then select this
configuration.
Simplify the config header definition on the way.

The patch converts one of the "reserved" fields in the sunxi SPL
header to a fel_uEnv_length entry. When booting over USB ("FEL
mode"), this enables the sunxi-fel utility to pass the string
length of uEnv.txt compatible data; at the same time requesting
that this data be imported into the U-Boot environment.
If parse_spl_header() in the sunxi board.c encounters a non-zero
value in this header field, it will therefore call himport_r() to
merge the string (lines) passed via FEL into the default settings.
Environment vars can be changed this way even before U-Boot will
attempt to autoboot - specifically, this also allows overriding
"bootcmd".
With fel_script_addr set and a zero fel_uEnv_length, U-Boot is
safe to assume that data in .scr format (a mkimage-type script)
was passed at fel_script_addr, and will handle it using the
existing mechanism ("bootcmd_fel").

Commit b19236fd1 ("sunxi: Increase SPL header size to 64 bytes to avoid
code corruption") Added defines for MMC0 and SPI as boot identification.
After verifying on an OLinuXino Lime2 with NAND and eMMC, the expected
values have been confirmed and added to spl.h

The current SPL header, created by the 'mksunxiboot' tool, has size
32 bytes. But the code in the boot ROM stores the information about
the boot media at the offset 0x28 before passing control to the SPL.
For example, when booting from the SD card, the magic number written
by the boot ROM is 0. And when booting from the SPI flash, the magic
number is 3. NAND and eMMC probably have their own special magic
numbers too.
Currently the corrupted byte is a part of one of the instructions in
the reset vectors table:
b reset
ldr pc, _undefined_instruction
ldr pc, _software_interrupt <- Corruption happens here
ldr pc, _prefetch_abort
ldr pc, _data_abort
ldr pc, _not_used
ldr pc, _irq
ldr pc, _fiq
In practice this does not cause any visible problems, but it's still
better to fix it. As a bonus, the reported boot media type can be
later used in the 'spl_boot_device' function, but this is out of
the scope of this patch.

The Allwinner A64 SoC is used in the Pine64. This patch adds
all bits necessary to compile U-Boot for it running in AArch64
mode.
Unfortunately SPL is not ready yet due to legal problems, so
we need to boot using the binary boot0 for now.

This patch extends the misc_init_r() function on sunxi boards
to test for the presence of a suitable "sunxi" SPL header. If
found, and the loader ("fel" utility) provided a non-zero value
for the boot.scr address, then the corresponding environment
variable fel_scriptaddr gets set.
misc_init_r() also sets (or clears) the "fel_booted" variable depending
on the active boot device, using the same logic as spl_boot_device().
The goal is to provide sufficient information (within the U-Boot
environment) to make intelligent decisions on how to continue the boot
process, allowing specific customizations for the "FEL boot" case.

This patch follows up on a discussion of ways to improve support
for the sunxi FEL ("USB boot") mechanism, especially with regard
to boot scripts, see:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/linux-sunxi/wBEGUoLNRro/rHGq6nSYCQAJ
The idea is to convert the (currently unused) "pad" bytes in the
SPL header into an area where data can be passed to U-Boot. To
do this safely, we have to make sure that we're actually using
our "sunxi" flavor of the SPL, and not the Allwinner boot0.
The modified mksunxiboot introduces a special signature to the
SPL header in place of the "pub_head_size" field. This can be
used to reliably distinguish between compatible versions of sunxi
SPL and anything else (older variants or Allwinner's boot0).

The sunxi platform currently doesn't seem to make any use of the
asm/arch-sunxi/spl.h file. This patch moves some declarations from
tools/mksunxiboot.c into it.
This enables us to reuse those definitions when extending the
sunxi board code (boards/sunxi/boards.c).

This patch adds generic board, start of day and basic build system support for
the Allwinner A20 (sun7i) processor. This code will not been compiled until the
build is hooked up in a later patch. It has been split out to keep the patches
manageable.
