The BCM2835 SoC contains (at least) two CPUs; the VideoCore (a/k/a "GPU")
and the ARM CPU. The ARM CPU is often thought of as the main CPU.
However, the VideoCore actually controls the initial SoC boot, and hides
much of the hardware behind a protocol. This protocol is transported
using the SoC's mailbox hardware module.
Here, we add a very simplistic driver for the mailbox module, and define
a few structures for the property messages.

Commit 86c6326 "ARM: arm1176: enable instruction cache in
arch_cpu_init()" defined arch_cpu_init() in a file that is shared across
all arm1176 SoCs. tnetv107x already implemented this function, which
caused linking to break. Move the new conflicting arch_cpu_init() into
arm1176/bcm2835/init.c so that it doesn't conflict; grep indicates this
function is usually defined at the SoC-level, not the CPU-level, at least
for ARM.

This SoC is used in the Raspberry Pi, for example.
For more details, see:
http://www.broadcom.com/products/BCM2835http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf.
Initial support is enough to boot to a serial console, execute a minimal
set of U-Boot commands, download data over a serial port, and boot a
Linux kernel. No storage or network drivers are implemented.

commit 0edf8b5b2f breaks
building on a different directory with the O= parameter.
The patch wil fix this issue, generating always asm-offsets.h before
the other targets.

On i.MX27, the asm-offsets.h file is not yet generated as it should be.

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

actually the timer init use the interrupt_init as init callback
which make the interrupt and timer implementation difficult to follow
so now rename it as int timer_init(void) and use interrupt_init for interrupt
btw also remane the corresponding file to the functionnality implemented
as ixp arch implement two timer - one based on interrupt - so all the timer
related code is moved to timer.c

Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
- Introducing the concept of SoCs "./cpu/$(CPU)/$(SOC)"
- creating subdirs for SoCs ./cpu/arm920t/imx and ./cpu/arm920t/s3c24x0
- moving SoC specific code out of cpu/arm920t/ into cpu/arm920t/$(SOC)/
- moving drivers/s3c24x0_i2c.c and drivers/serial_imx.c out of drivers/
into cpu/arm920t/$(SOC)/
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
- major rework of command structure
(work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
