This series introduce the support of the Armada 3700 family: it is the
first ARM64 SoC of the mvebu family submitted to the mainline!

Currently there are two members of the Armada 3700 family, the only
difference is the number of core: the Armada 3710 comes with one
Cortex-A53 whereas the Armada 3720 comes with 2 Cortex-A53. In this
series we enabled only the minimum to boot, pinctrl and clock tree
will come soon.

The changes in this third version are very small (see the changelog).

The first two patches patches are here to be able to use the the
ARCH_MVEBU for the Armada 3700 SoCs. The first ones is only here to
have standalone series but it comes from Thomas Petazzoni's series:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/472625

The third patch introduces a new serial driver for the uart used on
this SoC. The driver remains simple even if the hardware is capable of
doing more.

The forth one adapts the ahci driver to support the Armada 3700 SoC.
The forth patch updates the binding documentation with the new
compatible string.

The fifth patch adds a new entry Kconfig entry for this SoC family.

I took the opportunity of this series to tidy up the Marvell related
files in the binding documentation with the seventh patch.

The eighth patch introduces the compatible string for the SoCs of the
Armada 3700 family.

The ninth patch could be considered as the bulk of this series: it
adds the device tree files for the Armada 3700 SoCs and for the
reference board.

With the introduction of this new family the MAINTAINERS file, the
Marvell README and the ARM64 defconfig files have to be updated: it is
the purpose of the last 3 patches.

The patches 3 and 4 could be taken directly by the maintainer of their
respective subsystem as there is no dependency at all with the rest of
the series. I think that the rest of the series should go through the
arm-soc maintainer but in doubt I also added the ARM64 maintainer as
suggested by get_maintainer.pl.
Looks good overall,
