A lot of these are implied by ARCH_MULTI_V7, just drop them here.

Some others like DEBUG_UART_8250 should remain user-selectable, if
the platform works without them.

Will review. It looks like DEBUG_UART_8250 actually has to move to Kconfig.debug as that is where everyone else selects it.

I don't think you need per-board config options. The main option
above should be enough.
This is not a per-board config option. This is actually a per-SoC uArchtecture selection. More major uArchectures will be added to the IPROC. Will Change comment to "Support Broadcom Cygnus SoC"

Never hardcode physical register locations in source. This should come
from DT, and get moved into a regular 'reset' device driver.

You probably want to use drivers/power/reset/syscon-reboot.c

OK, thanks for advice on where to put reset device driver. Will investigate.

Same thing here: this should really use the device node for CRU.

Can you describe what the CRU is? Is this specific to NEON or is
it some general-purpose power management unit?

It's a central resource unit with a lot of random registers to perform various operations. To reduce confusion I'll probably move this out of the kernel init and into the bootloader. This will simplify the kernel init.
+static void __init bcm_cygnus_init(void)
+{
+ of_platform_populate(NULL, of_default_bus_match_table, NULL, NULL);
+
+ l2x0_of_init(0, ~0UL);

The l2x0_of_init can be removed now, just move the arguments into the
respective fields of the machine descriptor.

Yes, thanks for pointing this out.

+

+}

In general, try to avoid #ifdef, use

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NEON))
bcm_cygnus_powerup_neon();

instead.

+static const char const *bcm_cygnus_dt_compat[] = {
+ "brcm,cygnus",

+ .map_io = debug_ll_io_init,
+ .dt_compat = bcm_cygnus_dt_compat,
+ .restart = bcm_cygnus_restart
+MACHINE_END

The map_io pointer is unnecessary, and the restart pointer should get
set by the reset driver. I hope we can find a way to avoid the
bcm_cygnus_init callback as well.
bcm_cygnus_init callback can be removed by moving initialization to bootloader.
