This patch series adds support for embedded devices like bcm47xx to 
bcma. Bcma is used on bcm4716 and bcm4718 SoCs as the system bus and
replaced ssb used on older devices. With these patches my bcm4716 
device boots up till it tries to access the flash, because the serial 
flash chip is unsupported for now, this will be my next task. This adds 
support for MIPS cores, interrupt configuration and the serial console.

These patches are not containing all functions needed to get the SoC to 
fully work and support every feature, but it is a good start.
These patches are now integrated in OpenWrt for everyone how wants to
test them.

This was tested with a BCM4704 device (SoC with ssb bus), a BCM4716 
device and a pcie wireless card supported by bcma.

@John could you please merge this into wireless-testing. I hope Ralf is 
fine with it when some MIPS bits will go through wireless. This will 
make it much easier for Linus to merge wireless-testing and the mips 
tree together as there are many other changes for bcma in wireless-
testing.
John, if you want to merge the MIPS bits through the wireless tree, feel
free to:
