We have switched to Kconfig and the boards.cfg file is going to
be removed. We have to retrieve the board status and maintainers
information from it.
The MAINTAINERS format as in Linux Kernel would be nice
because we can crib the scripts/get_maintainer.pl script.
After some discussion, we chose to put a MAINTAINERS file under each
board directory, not the top-level one because we want to collect
relevant information for a board into a single place.
TODO:
Modify get_maintainer.pl to scan multiple MAINTAINERS files.

This commit adds:
- arch/${ARCH}/Kconfig
provide a menu to select target boards
- board/${VENDOR}/${BOARD}/Kconfig or board/${BOARD}/Kconfig
set CONFIG macros to the appropriate values for each board
- configs/${TARGET_BOARD}_defconfig
default setting of each board
(This commit was automatically generated by a conversion script
based on boards.cfg)
In Linux Kernel, defconfig files are located under
arch/${ARCH}/configs/ directory.
It works in Linux Kernel since ARCH is always given from the
command line for cross compile.
But in U-Boot, ARCH is not given from the command line.
Which means we cannot know ARCH until the board configuration is done.
That is why all the "*_defconfig" files should be gathered into a
single directory ./configs/.

Send RPC commands to the VideoCore to turn on the SDHCI and USB modules.
For SDHCI this isn't needed in practice, since the firmware already
turned on the power in order to load U-Boot. However, it's best to be
explicit. For USB, this is necessary, since the module isn't powered
otherwise. This will allow the kernel USB driver to work.

Add a DT simple-framebuffer node to DT when booting the Linux kernel.
This will allow the kernel to inherit the framebuffer configuration from
U-Boot, and display a graphical boot console, and even run a full SW-
rendered X server.

Enable the SD controller driver for the Raspberry Pi. Enable a number
of useful MMC, partition, and filesystem-related commands. Set up the
environment to provide standard locations for loading a kernel, DTB,
etc. Provide a boot command that loads and executes boot.scr.uimg from
the SD card; this is written considering future extensibilty to USB
storage.

The firmware running on the bcm2835 SoC's VideoCore CPU determines how
much of the system RAM is available for use by the ARM CPU. Previously,
U-Boot assumed that only 128MB was available, since this was the
smallest value configured by any public firmware. However, we can now
query the actual value at run-time from the firmware using the mbox
property protocol.

The Raspberry Pi model B uses the BCM2835 SoC, has 256MB of RAM,
contains an SMSC 9512 USB LAN/Hub chip, and various IO connectors.
