----------------------------------------------------------------

This patch set enable support for boards based on the Marvell Armada 37x/38x
and XP SOCs (e.g. Globalscale Mirabox):

patch 01 - 18 are config changes to enable all the feature of these SOCs

patch 19 build DTBs for every board supported upstream

patch 20 is a fix for the MVEBU PCI driver (already queued for 3.16rc6)

patch 21 enables the serial controller present on the Globalscale Mirabox

patch 22 is a workaround for the buggy Mirabox's bootloader that crashes
when loading a kernel bigger than 6MB (it seems it's triggered around
5.9MB actually)

To enable the Mirabox we either:

a) "fix" the bootloader: unfortunately, Globalscale uses a modified
version of u-boot and there's no support for this board upstream - i
already made the company aware of this bug but i didn't get any answer
so far

b) accept to compile generic armhf with Os (patch 22) - unlikely but
it shrink kernel size to ~5.5MB

c) put the generic kernel on diet (if we ever find something that we can
turn off or compile it as a module)

I'm proposing the entire series for U/master-next except for the last patch, that
was posted just for refence.
