Subject: [PATCH 00/11] ARM: Initial Actions Semi S500 and S900 enablement

Hello,

Based on earlier work of mine for the LeMaker Guitar, this series adds initial
support for the Actions Semiconductor S500 (ARMv7) and S900 (ARMv8) SoCs.

Despite Actions Semi being a Linaro member since 2015, sadly I have not seen
a single upstream kernel patch submission since. Nor has the XApple community
taken any such initiative.

The GitHub LeMaker/linux-actions and xapp-le/kernel trees have 3.10 based S500
drivers in arch/arm/mach-owl/, whereas the 96boards-bubblegum/linux tree has
new-style but still 3.10 based S900 drivers. I also spotted GPLv2+ vs. GPLv2
license differences.

This series therefore provides a proof of concept for a combined S500 and S900
mainline implementation. Only earlycon serial output is available for now.

Focusing on Bubblegum-96, no S500 clocksource implementation is provided yet,
thus output on Guitar is less than on Bubblegum-96, but still it demonstrates
that a single driver can be shared for both, using compatible strings for
future differentiation.

Booting from U-Boot is straightforward on both boards.

Have a lot of fun!

Cheers,
Andreas
