Matt Redfearn 9a59061cfd MIPS: generic: Fix KASLR for generic kernel.
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.

Paul Burton 3f5f0a4475 MIPS: generic: Convert SEAD-3 to a generic board
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.

Paul Burton eed0eabd12 MIPS: generic: Introduce generic DT-based board support
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.
