Marvell Berlin4CT is a SoC based on 64bit ARMv8 architecture. It contains
quad CA53 cores.

This SoC shares many HW IP with BG2Q and other berlin series. This patchset
was tested on Berlin4CT DMP board, and boot to shell ok.

Since v4:
  - rebased on the latest next tree

Jisheng,

some git basics, so you get a better idea of the merge process:

Please do not base your patches on linux-next. It is not a stable branch
I can refer to. Also, if there was any dependency with another feature
that your patches require, you should mention that dependency by
pointing out either a floating patch set or even better a _stable_
topic branch of the feature that will be added in the same cycle you
expect your patches to be merged.

Got it. Thanks for the kindly remind. There's only one dependency:
"arm64: Split out platform options to separate Kconfig" from Olof.

AFAIKS, there is no dependency at all so please just base them on -rc1

I'd like to learn more to avoid future inconvenience. This means it's better
to rebase on 4.2-rc, right?

Another question is: could patches be based on arm-soc tree if necessary?
for example: if I need the "arm64: Split out platform options to separate
Kconfig" commit.

(No need to resend, I can take care of it).

Anyway, I am fine with the series and it has been out for a while now.
I pick it up, let is set on linux-next for a while and send out a
topic PR at the end of the week.

Thanks a lot,
Jisheng

Thanks!

Sebastian

  - adopt Sebastian suggestions such as: move osc out of "/soc" node, use
    "Marvell BG4CT DMP board" as model, etc.
  - use correct memory size for BG4CT DMP. The total DDR size is 2GB, we start
    from 0x01000000, so the avaiable linux memory should be 0x7f000000.

Since v3:
  - remove bootargs. follow the same behavior as other arm64 SoCs.

Since v2:
  - remove the memreserve which isn't removed by mistake
  - add earlycon to enable earlyconsole, inspired by Sudeep

Since v1:
  - remove "earlyprintk" bootargs which doesn't work on arm64
  - fix GICC_DIR size as pointed out by Mark
  - define memory start address instead of memory reservation as suggested by Mark
  - add interrupt-affinity to pmu node as pointed out by Sudeep
