This patchset supports new Exynos7 Samsung SoC based on Cortex-A57.
Exynos7 is a System-On-Chip (SoC) that is based on 64-bit
ARMv8 RISC processor.

A general issue with this series is that it introduces a very generic
name for a very specific single SoC. We remember exactly the same cases
for Exynos4 (original name used for Exynos5250) and Exynos5 (Exynos5250)
and we should have learned that it is better to use a specific name
first and only then try to make things common if it turns out to be
appropriate.

Any comments on this?

The name of the SoC is Exynos7 and so all these patches are using
Exynos7 in dt compatible string and file names. If there are any
variants of Exynos7 SoC in future, support those variants will be
based on what is already merged for Exynos7 SoC. There is no specific
generalization targeted in this series by using Exynos7 name.

Thanks,
Thomas.
