Stephen Warren d1dc7c6c6a ARM: bcm2835: defconfig updates
Now that we have an SDHCI driver, enable the block layer, and common
filesystems; MSDOS/VFAT for the SoC-required firmware partition, ext2/3/4
for a root partition.

Add tmpfs, NFS, file locking, file notify, networking, and NLS to support
distro expectations.

Enable GPIO_SYSFS to allow GPIO twiddling from user-space; likely a
common activity on this hardware.

Enable I2C.

Remove bogus CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR so that applications running as
non-root actually work; without this, execve() immediately triggers
SIGKILL. This setting was sourced from some downstream defconfig early
during upstream Raspberry Pi support development.

Other non-semantic diffs due to rebuilding defconfig using the latest
Kconfig defaults etc.

Thomas Petazzoni a6380c13c1 ARM: bcm2835: enable procfs and sysfs in defconfig
For some reason, support for proc and sysfs is currently disabled in
the bcm2835_defconfig, even though those filesystems are quite
essential even for very basic Linux userspace. As most defconfig have
them enabled by default, enable them as well in bcm2835_defconfig.

Simon Arlott ec9653b847 ARM: add infra-structure for BCM2835 and Raspberry Pi
The BCM2835 is an ARM SoC from Broadcom. This patch adds very basic
support for this SoC.

http://www.broadcom.com/products/BCM2835
http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf

Note that the documentation in the latter .pdf assumes the MMU setup
that's used on the "VideoCore" companion processor, and does not document
physical peripheral addresses. Subtract 0x5e000000 to obtain the physical
addresses. This is accounted for by the ranges property in the /soc node
in the device tree.

The BCM2835 SoC is used in the Raspberry Pi. This patch also adds a
minimal device tree for this board; enough to see some very early kernel
boot messages through earlyprintk. However, this patch does not yet
provide a useful booting system.

This patch was extracted from git://github.com/lp0/linux.git branch
rpi-split from 3-4 months ago, and significantly stripped down and
modified since.
