Convert sun4i-a10.dtsi to new CCU driver.

Signed-off-by: Priit Laes <redacted>

I finally got around to bisecting a mainline boot failure on
sun4i-a10-cubieboard that's been happening for quite a while.  Based
on on kernelci.org, it showed up sometime during the v4.15 merge
window[1].  It bisected down to this commit (in mainline as commit
41193869f2bdb585ce09bfdd16d9482aadd560ad).

When it fails, there is no output on the serial console, so I don't
know exactly how it's failing, just that it no longer boots.

We tried out latest 4.15 with various compilers and it works:
- gcc version 7.1.1 20170622 (Red Hat Cross 7.1.1-3) (GCC) - A10 Gemei G9 tablet
- gcc 7.2.0-debian - A10 Cubieboard

And you can reproduce the bug with gcc5 or gcc6?

Very strange that a DT only patch would cause a gcc related regression
and if it does, it should be investigated.  I don't think requiring
gcc7 is an appropriate solution.

@Chen-Yu, @Maxime: are you guys OK with requiring gcc7 for working
upstream boot for A10?
