Pull ARM soc multiplatform enablement from Olof Johansson:
 "This is a pretty significant branch.  It's the introduction of the
  first multiplatform support on ARM, and with this (and the later
  branch) merged, it is now possible to build one kernel that contains
  support for highbank, vexpress, mvebu, socfpga, and picoxcell.  More
  platforms will be convered over in the next few releases.

  Two critical last things had to be done for this to be practical and
  possible:
   * Today each platform has its own include directory under
     mach-&lt;mach&gt;/include/mach/*, and traditionally that is where a lot
     of driver/platform shared definitions have gone, such as platform
     data structures.  They now need to move out to a common location
     instead, and this branch moves a large number of those out to
     include/linux/platform_data.
   * Each platform used to list the device trees to compile for its
     boards in mach-&lt;mach&gt;/Makefile.boot.

  Both of the above changes will mean that there are some merge
  conflicts to come (and some to resolve here).  It's a one-time move
  and once it settles in, we should be good for quite a while.  Sorry
  for the overhead."

Fix conflicts as per Olof.

ARM: tegra: switch to dmaengine

The Tegra code-base has contained both a legacy DMA and a dmaengine
driver since v3.6-rcX. This series flips Tegra's defconfig to enable
dmaengine rather than the legacy driver, and removes the legacy driver
and all client code.

These error paths are used more often now after deep changes to the
clock code and pinctrl is still new for imx. So help debugging and give
clues in the boot log.

Remove the clock configuration from imx_setup_ufcr(). This
isn't needed here and will cause garbage output if done.

To be be sure that we only touch the bits we want (TXTL and RXTL)
we have to mask out all other bits of the UFCR register. Add
one non-existing bit macro for this, too (bit 6, DCEDTE on i.MX6).

The console feature's write routing is unsafe on SMP with
the startup/shutdown call.

There could be several consumers of the console
* the kernel printk
* the init process using /dev/kmsg to call printk to show log
* shell, which open /dev/console and write with sys_write()

The shell goes into the normal uart open/write routing,
but the other two go into the console operations.
The open routing calls imx serial startup, which will write USR1/2
register without any lock and critical with imx_console_write call.

Add a spin_lock for startup/shutdown/console_write routing.

This patch is a port from Freescale's Android kernel.
