Hi,
my current target was to provide barebox and openocd support.
- ar2313 is already upstream on barebox.
- ar2315-2318 (barebox) awaiting review by Anthony Pavlov.
- openocd (EJTAG) support is ready and i'll push it ASUP.

I hope Jonathan do kernel part. If not, i can provide some work, since i
have testing boards and expiriance on this hardware.
