bus: introduce an Marvell EBU MBus driver
The Marvell EBU SoCs have a configurable physical address space layout: the physical ranges of memory used to address PCI(e) interfaces, NOR flashes, SRAM and various other types of memory are configurable by software, through a mechanism of so-called 'address decoding windows'. This new driver mvebu-mbus consolidates the existing code to address the configuration of these memory ranges, which is spread into mach-mvebu, mach-orion5x, mach-mv78xx0, mach-dove and mach-kirkwood. Following patches convert each Marvell EBU SoC family to use this driver, therefore removing the old code that was configuring the address decoding windows. It is worth mentioning that the MVEBU_MBUS Kconfig option is intentionally added as a blind option. The new driver implements and exports the mv_mbus_dram_info() function, which is used by various Marvell drivers throughout the tree to get access to window configuration parameters that they require. This function is also implemented in arch/arm/plat-orion/addr-map.c, which ultimately gets removed at the end of this patch series. So, in order to preserve bisectability, we want to ensure that *either* this new driver, *or* the legacy code in plat-orion/addr-map.c gets compiled in. By making MVEBU_MBUS a blind option, we are sure that only a platform that does 'select MVEBU_MBUS' will get this new driver compiled in. Therefore, throughout the next patches that convert the Marvell sub-architectures one after the other to this new driver, we add the 'select MVEBU_MBUS' and also ensure to remove plat-orion/addr-map.c from the build for this specific sub-architecture. This ensures that bisectability is preserved. Ealier versions of this driver had a DT binding, but since those were not yet agreed upon, they were removed. The driver still uses of_device_id to find the SoC specific details according to the string passed to mvebu_mbus_init(). The plan is to re-introduce a proper DT binding as a followup set of patches.
