FWIW, I applied this patch, and booted the result successfully and without
any user-visible changes on:
  - koelsch
  - armadillo-multiplatform
  - kzm9g-legacy
  - kzm9g-multiplatform

Armadillo-legacy is broken, and probably won't come back (cfr.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/2/339).

Kzm9g-reference still hangs at "Calibrating local timer..." (it did work
at some point in the past).

Note that my local tree is based on renesas-drivers-2014-12-08-v3.18,
renesas-devel-20141212-v3.18, and yesterday's upstream, with CCF,
PM domain, TWD, and lots of WIP patches from the kitchen sink applied.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

                        Geert
