arm: rpi: Add a file to handle messages
The bcm283x chips provide a way for the ARM core to communicate with the
graphics processor, which is in charge of many things. This is handled by
way of a message prototcol.
At present the code for sending message (and receiving a reply) is spread
around U-Boot, primarily in the board file. This means that sending a
message from a driver requires duplicating the code.
Create a new message implementation with a function to support powering on
a subsystem as a starting point.

rpi: remove redundant board files
Now that rpi_*defconfig and Kconfig (rather than the config header file)
provide the identity of the build, we don't need to separate config
headers and board directories for each RPi variant. Set CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
and CONFIG_SYS_CONFIG_NAME so that we can get rid of the duplication. This
requires a tiny number of extra ifdefs in the config header.
The only disadvantage of this approach is that the $board/$board_name
environment variables aren't as descriptive as they used to be. This isn't
really an issue because those only exist to allow scripts to create DTB
filenames at runtime. However, the RPi board code already sets $fdtfile to
something more accurate based on FW-reported board ID anyway.
While at it, unify some Kconfig select options, and add a MAINTAINERS
entry for bcm283x too.

rpi: BCM2837 and Raspberry Pi 3 32-bit support
The Raspberry Pi 3 contains a BCM2837 SoC. The BCM2837 is a BCM2836 with
the CPU complex swapped out for a quad-core ARMv8. This can operate in 32-
or 64-bit mode. 32-bit mode is the current default selected by the
VideoCore firmware on the Raspberry Pi 3. This patch adds a 32-bit port of
U-Boot for the Raspberry Pi 3.
>From U-Boot's perspective, the only delta between the RPi 2 and RPi 3 is a
change in usage of the SoC UARTs. On all previous Pis, the PL011 was the
only UART in use. The Raspberry Pi 3 adds a Bluetooth module which uses a
UART to connect to the SoC. By default, the PL011 is used for this purpose
since it has larger FIFOs than the other "mini" UART. However, this can
be configured via the VideoCore firmware's config.txt file. This patch
hard-codes use of the mini UART in the RPi 3 port. If your system uses the
PL011 UART for the console even on the RPi 3, please use the RPi 2 U-Boot
port instead. A future change might determine which UART to use at
run-time, thus allowing the RPi 2 and RPi 3 (32-bit) ports to be squashed
together.
The mini UART has some limitations. One externally visible issue in the
BCM2837 integration is that the UART divides the SoC's "core clock" to
generate the baud rate. The core clock is typically variable, and under
control of the VideoCore firmware for thermal management reasons. If the
VC FW does modify the core clock rate, UART communication will be
corrupted since the baud rate will vary from the expected value. This was
not an issue for the PL011 UART, since it is fed by a fixed 3MHz clock. To
work around this, the VideoCore firmware can be told not to modify the SoC
core clock. However, the only way this can happen and be thermally safe is
to limit the core clock to a low/minimum frequency. This leaves
performance on the table for use-cases that don't care about a UART
console. Consequently, use of the mini UART console must be explicitly
requested by entering the following line into config.txt:
enable_uart=1
A recent version of the VC firmware is required to ensure that the mini
UART is fully and correctly initialized by the VC FW; at least
firmware.git 046effa13ebc "firmware: arm_loader: emmc clock depends on
core clock See: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/572".

ARM: bcm283x: don't always define CONFIG_BCM2835
Currently, CONFIG_BCM2835 is defined for all BCM283x builds and _BCM2836
is defined when building for that SoC. That means there isn't a single
define that means "exactly BCM2835". This will complicate future patches
where BCM2835-vs-anything-else needs to be determined simply.
Modify the code to define one or the other of CONFIG_BCM2835/BCM2836 so
future patches are simpler.
