+DSP side awareness for Freescale heterogeneous multicore chips based on
+StarCore and Power Architecture
+===============================================================
+powerpc/mpc85xx code ve APIs and function to get the number,
+configuration and frequencies of all PowerPC cores and devices
+connected to them, but it didnt have the similar code ofr HEterogeneous
+SC3900/DSP cores and such devices like CPRI, MAPLE, MAPLE-ULB etc.
+
+Code for DSP side awareness provides such functionality for Freescale
+Heterogeneous SoCs which are chasis-2 compliant like B4860 and B4420
+
+As part of this feature, following changes have been made:
+==========================================================
+
+1. Changed files:
+=================
+- arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc85xx/cpu.c
+
+Code added in this file to print the DSP cores and other device's(CPRI,
+MAPLE etc) frequencies
+
+- arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc85xx/speed.c
+
+Added Defines and code to extract the frequncy information for all
+required cores and devices from RCW and System frequency
+
+- arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xxx/cpu.c
+
+Added API to get the number of SC cores in running system and Their BIT
+MASK, similar to the code written for PowerPC
+
+- arch/powerpc/include/asm/config_mpc85xx.h
+
+Added top level CONFIG to identify presence of HETEROGENUOUS clusters
+in the system and CONFIGS for SC3900/DSP components
+
+- arch/powerpc/include/asm/processor.h
+- include/common.h
+
+Added newly added Functions Declaration
+
+- include/e500.h
+
+Global structure updated for dsp cores and other components
+
+2. CONFIGs ADDED
+================
+
+CONFIG_HETROGENOUS_CLUSTERS - Define for checking the presence of
+ DSP/SC3900 core clusters
+
+CONFIG_SYS_FSL_NUM_CC_PLLS - Define for number of PLLs
+
+Though there are only 4 PLLs in B4, but in sequence of PLLs from PLL1 -
+PLL5, PLL3 is Reserved(as mentioned in RM), so this define contains the
+value as 5 not 4, to iterate over all PLLs while coding
+
+CONFIG_SYS_MAPLE - Define for MAPLE Baseband Accelerator
+CONFIG_SYS_CPRI - Define for CPRI Interface
+CONFIG_PPC_CLUSTER_START - Start index of ppc clusters
+CONFIG_DSP_CLUSTER_START - Start index of dsp clusters
+
+Following are the defines for PLL's index that provide the Clocking to
+CPRI, ULB and ETVE components
+
+CONFIG_SYS_CPRI_CLK - Define PLL index for CPRI clock
+CONFIG_SYS_ULB_CLK - Define PLL index for ULB clock
+CONFIG_SYS_ETVPE_CLK - Define PLL index for ETVPE clock
+
+3. Changes in MPC85xx_SYS_INFO Global structure
+===============================================
+
+DSP cores and other device's components have been added in this structure.
+
+freq_processor_dsp[CONFIG_MAX_DSP_CPUS] - Array to contain the DSP core's frequencies
+freq_cpri - To store CPRI frequency
+freq_maple - To store MAPLE frequency
+freq_maple_ulb - To store MAPLE-ULB frequency
+freq_maple_etvpe - To store MAPLE-eTVPE frequency
+
