This initial patches enable Cavium Thunder SoC Family. The patches add
devicetree and Kconfig support and then add Thunder to the defconfig.

The Thunder system needs more enablement patches for subsystems and
devices, this includes network, ahci, gicv3/gicv3-its, pci, smmu, kvm.
We will send separate patch sets for these. All of them base on this
initial patches.

I sent a separate patch set independently that introduces support for
dts vendor subdirs. After both patch sets have been applied I will
send a patch in addition that moves the dts file into a subdirectory.

I sent another separate patch that sets NR_CPUS to 64 per default.

The first patch introduces dts files without having a Kconfig option
for the soc (ARCH_THUNDER). However, this is introduced in patch 3 and
added to defconfig in patch 4 as this is my preferred solution. If
there is still resistance having an ARCH_THUNDER option, just drop
them.

Patches are available here:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rric/linux.git thunder/init
it would be good if these patches could be applied.
Catalin's handling the 3.18 merge window, but this looks like arm-soc
material anyway and should go via Olof/Arnd.
Yes. Olof said he's cherry-picking arm64 SoC patches (or Robert could
send him a pull request).
just in case you want to pull, please pull from:

Olof, Arnd,

please pull or apply.

Thanks,

-Robert
