Since early BCM5301X days we got abort handler that was removed by
commit 937b12306e ("ARM: BCM5301X: remove workaround imprecise abort
fault handler"). It assumed we need to deal only with pending aborts
left by the bootloader. Unfortunately this isn't true for BCM5301X.
When probing PCI config space (device enumeration) it is expected to
have master aborts on the PCI bus. Most bridges don't forward (or they
allow disabling it) these errors onto the AXI/AMBA bus but not the
Northstar (BCM5301X) one.
iProc PCIe controller on Northstar seems to be some older one, without
a control register for errors forwarding. It means we need to workaround
this at platform level. All newer platforms are not affected by this
issue.

This is not needed anymore. Handling a potentially pending imprecise external
abort left behind by the bootloader is now done in a slightly safer way inside
the common ARM startup code.

Init data marked const should be annotated with __initconst for
correctness and not __initdata. In some cases the array gathering
references to that data has to be marked const as well. This fixes
LTO builds that otherwise fail with section mismatch errors.

Broadcom ARM devices seem to generate some fault once per boot. We
already have an ignoring handler for BCM4707/BCM4708, but BCM4709
generates different code.

Remove the explicit call to l2x0_of_init(), converting to the generic
infrastructure instead. We can remove the explicit machine init too
as this becomes identical to the generic version.

They're u32, they're not unsigned long. The UL suffix is not required
here.

Without this patch I am getting a unhandled fault exception like this
one after "Freeing unused kernel memory":
Freeing unused kernel memory: 1260K (c02c1000 - c03fc000)
Unhandled fault: imprecise external abort (0x1c06) at 0xb6f89005
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000007
The address which is here 0xb6f89005 changes from boot to boot, with a
new build the changes are bigger. With kernel 3.10 I have also seen
this fault at different places in the boot process, but starting with
3.11 they are always occurring after the "Freeing unused kernel memory"
message. I never was able to completely boot to userspace without this
handler. The abort code is constant 0x1c06. This fault just happens
once in the boot process I have never seen it happing twice or more.
I also tried changing the CPSR.A bit to 0 in init_early, with this code
like Afzal suggested, but that did not change anything:
asm volatile("mrs r12, cpsr\n"
"bic r12, r12, #0x00000100\n"
"msr cpsr_c, r12" ::: "r12", "cc", "memory");
Disabling the L2 cache by building with CONFIG_CACHE_L2X0 unset did not
help.
This workaround was copied from the vendor code including most of the
comments. It says it they think this is caused by the CFE boot loader
used on this device. I do not have any access to any datasheet or
errata document to check this.

This patch adds support for the BCM5301X/BCM470X SoCs with an ARM CPUs.
Currently just booting to a shell is working and nothing else, no
Ethernet, wifi, flash, ...
I have some pending patches to make Ethernet work for this device.
Mostly device tree support for bcma is missing.
This SoC is used in small office and home router with Broadcom SoCs
it's internal name is Northstar. This code should support the BCM4707,
BCM4708, BCM4709, BCM53010, BCM53011 and BCM53012 SoC. It uses one or
two ARM Cortex A9 Cores, some highlights are 2 PCIe 2.0 controllers,
4 Gigabit Ethernet MACs and a USB 3.0 host controller.
This SoC uses a dual core CPU, but this is currently not implemented.
More information about this SoC can be found here:
