Well, no compilained too loudly at the RFC version of this patch series
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/28/863).  So, I'm officially sending
this out for inclusion.  All comments from the RFC were addressed in
this version.

This patch series adds support for other, non-bcma iProc SoC's to the
bgmac driver.  This series only adds NSP support, but we are interested
in adding support for the Cygnus and NS2 families (with more possible
down the road).

To support non-bcma enabled SoCs, we need to add the standard device
tree "platform device" support.  Unfortunately, this driver is very
tighly coupled with the bcma bus and much unwinding is needed.  I tried
to break this up into a number of patches to make it more obvious what
was being done to add platform device support.  I was able to verify
that the bcma code still works using a 53012K board (NS SoC), and that
the platform code works using a 58625K board (NSP SoC).
Looks reasonable overall. I have one comment for the binding, but
we can handle them separately. I think the first five patches
can just get merged through net-next if there are no other concerns,
and feel free to add my

For the last two patches, once we have worked out the right
compatible strings, please send them to Florian for merging through
the arm-soc next/dt branch.
