Compared to the old xrx200_phy_fw driver the new version has multiple
enhancements. The name of the firmware files does not have to be added
to all .dts files anymore - one now configures the GPHY mode (FE or GE)
instead. Each GPHY can now also boot separate firmware (thus mixing of
GE and FE GPHYs is now possible).
The new implementation is based on the RCU syscon-mfd and uses the
reeset_controller framework instead of raw RCU register reads/writes.

Instead of hacking the configuration of the FPI bus into the arch code
add an own bus driver for this internal bus. The FPI bus is the main
bus of the SoC. This bus driver makes sure the bus is configured
correctly before the child drivers are getting initialized. This driver
will probably also be used on different SoCs later.

This adds the initial documentation for the RCU module (a MFD device
which provides USB PHYs, reset controllers and more).
The RCU register range is used for multiple purposes. Mostly one device
uses one or multiple register exclusively, but for some registers some
bits are for one driver and some other bits are for a different driver.
With this patch all accesses to the RCU registers will go through
syscon.

a 2T2R antenna.

- UART
- USB PHY
- EHCI
- Interrupt controller

The two device tree files octeon_3xxx.dts and octeon_68xx.dts are
trimmed by code in a subsequent patch to reflect the hardware actually
present on the board. To this end several properties that are not
part of the declared bindings are added to aid in trimming off
unwanted nodes. Since the device tree and the code that trims it are
bound into the kernel binary, these 'marker' properties never escape
into the wild, and are purely an implementation detail of the kernel
early boot process. This is done for backwards compatibility with
existing boards (identified by a board type enumeration value by their
bootloaders). New boards will always pass a device tree from the
bootloader, the built-in trees are ignored in this case.
