Add support for the MIPS Boston development board to generic kernels,
which essentially amounts to:
- Adding the device tree source for the MIPS Boston board.
- Adding a Kconfig fragment which enables the appropriate drivers for
the MIPS Boston board.
With these changes in place generic kernels will support the board by
default, and kernels with only the drivers needed for Boston enabled can
be configured by setting BOARDS=boston during configuration. For
example:
$ make ARCH=mips 64r6el_defconfig BOARDS=boston

The SEAD-3 board may be configured with or without a MIPS Global
Interrupt Controller (GIC). Because of this we have a device tree with a
default case of a GIC present, and code to fixup the device tree based
upon a configuration register that indicates the presence of the GIC.
In order to keep this DT fixup code simple, the interrupt-parent
property was specified at the root node of the SEAD-3 DT, allowing the
fixup code to simply change this property to the phandle of the CPU
interrupt controller if a GIC is not present & affect all
interrupt-using devices at once. This however causes a problem if we do
have a GIC & the device tree is used as-is, because the interrupt-parent
property of the root node applies to the CPU interrupt controller node.
This causes a cycle when of_irq_init() attempts to probe interrupt
controllers in order and boots fail due to a lack of configured
interrupts, with this message printed on the kernel console:
[ 0.000000] OF: of_irq_init: children remain, but no parents
Fix this by removing the interrupt-parent property from the DT root node
& instead setting it for each device which uses interrupts, ensuring
that the CPU interrupt controller node has no interrupt-parent &
allowing of_irq_init() to identify it as the root interrupt controller.

Introduce an apply_mips_fdt_fixups() function which can apply fixups to
an FDT based upon an array of fixup descriptions. This abstracts that
functionality such that legacy board code can apply FDT fixups without
requiring lots of duplication.

Name aliases in the SEAD-3 device tree serial0 & serial1, rather than
uart0 & uart1. This allows the core serial code to make use of the
aliases to ensure that the UARTs are consistently numbered as expected
rather than having the numbering depend upon probe order.
When translating YAMON-provided serial configuration to a device tree
stdout-path property adjust accordingly, such that we continue to
reference a valid alias.

YAMON can expose more than 256MB of RAM to Linux on Malta by passing an
ememsize environment variable with the full size, but the kernel then
needs to be careful to choose the corresponding physical memory regions,
avoiding the IO memory window. This is platform dependent, and on Malta
it also depends on the memory layout which varies between system
controllers.
Extend yamon_dt_amend_memory() to generically handle this by taking
[e]memsize bytes of memory from an array of memory regions passed in as
a new parameter. Board code provides this array as appropriate depending
on its own memory map.

In preparation for supporting other YAMON-using boards (Malta) & sharing
code to translate information from YAMON into device tree properties,
pull the code doing so for the kernel command line, system memory &
serial configuration out of the SEAD-3 board code.

The KASLR code requires that the plat_get_fdt() function return the
address of the device tree, and it must be available early in the boot,
before prom_init() is called. Move the code determining the address of
the device tree into plat_get_fdt, and call that from prom_init().
The fdt pointer will be set up by plat_get_fdt() called from
relocate_kernel initially and once the relocated kernel has started,
prom_init() will use it again to determine the address in the relocated
image.

Convert the MIPS SEAD-3 board support to be a generic board, supported
by generic kernels.
Because the SEAD-3 boot protocol was defined long ago and we don't want
to force a switch to the UHI protocol, SEAD-3 is added as a legacy board
which is detected by reading the REVISION register. This may technically
not be a valid memory read & future work will include attempting to
handle that gracefully. In practice since SEAD-3 is the only legacy
board supported by the generic kernel so far the read will only happen
on SEAD-3 boards, and even once Malta is converted the same REVISION
register exists there too. Other boards such as Boston, Ci20 & Ci40 will
use the UHI boot protocol & thus not run any of the legacy board detect
functions.

Introduce a "generic" platform, which aims to be board-agnostic by
making use of device trees passed by the boot protocol defined in the
MIPS UHI (Universal Hosting Interface) specification. Provision is made
for supporting boards which use a legacy boot protocol that can't be
changed, but adding support for such boards or any others is left to
followon patches.
Right now the built kernels expect to be loaded to 0x80100000, ie. in
kseg0. This is fine for the vast majority of MIPS platforms, but
nevertheless it would be good to remove this limitation in the future by
mapping the kernel via the TLB such that it can be loaded anywhere & map
itself appropriately.
Configuration is handled by dynamically generating configs using
scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh, somewhat similar to the way powerpc
makes use of it. This allows for variations upon the configuration, eg.
differing architecture revisions or subsets of driver support for
differing boards, to be handled without having a large number of
defconfig files.
