[PATCH v3 0/5] ARM: sunxi: Add basic support for Allwinner A80 SoC

[Chen-Yu Tsai]

Hi everyone,

This is v3 of the initial Allwinner A80 support series.
This patch series adds very basic support for Allwinner's A80 SoC,
a big.LITTLE architecture with 4 Cortex-A7s and 4 Cortex-A15s.

Development is done on the A80 Optimus Board, the defacto development
board for the A80, with the accompanying SDK as a reference. 

So far I've been unable to get the board to boot from MMC, or
using Android fastboot. I'm using Allwinner's FEL mode to load
the bootloader and kernel+dtb image over USB. Notes on my attempts
can be found here: http://linux-sunxi.org/User:Wens#A80_Optimus


Patch 1 introduces the compatible string for the A80.

Patch 2 adds a barebone dtsi with just the cpu, memory and uart nodes.

Patch 3 adds a barebone dts for the A80 Optimus Board.

Patch 4 documents all the Allwinner SoCs we currently support.

Patch 5 updates the sunxi README with a link to the A80's datasheet.

Changes since v2:

  - Dropped (unused) cpu topology map from dtsi
  - Added comment on ranges usage in dtsi
  - Corrected typo in bindings document
  - Dropped "A80" from Kconfig sun9i machine label and DT machine
    description
  - Dropped 2 patches already queued:
    ARM: sunxi: Add debug uart used by sun9i (Allwinner A80)
    devicetree: bindings: Add vendor prefix for Merrii  Technology Co.,
      Ltd.

Changes since v1:

  - Use skeleton64.dtsi as basis to support maximum of 8GB DRAM
  - Dropped dependency on ARCH_SUNXI for DEBUG_SUN9I_UART0
  - Added empty lines separating cores in the DT cpu-map node
  - Added patch 7 to update sunxi README

Cheers
ChenYu
