The Armada 7K/8K SoCs use the same RTC IP than the Armada 38x. However
the SOC integration differs in 2 points:
     - MBUS bridge timing initialization
     - IRQ configuration at SoC level

This patch set extends the driver support to these SoCs family.

In this second version the device tree was updated allowing to use the
RTC on Armada 80x0 SoCs. Indeed on the Armada 80x0, the RTC clock in
CP master is not connected (by package) to the oscillator. So this one
is disabled for the Armada 8020 and the Armada 8040. On these SoCs it
will be the RTC clock in CP slave connected to the oscillator which
will be used.

I saw on IRC than Russell managed to have a more coherent date with this
series on his 8040 based board. For the record, as the U-Boot on this
board didn't provide a "date reset" command for the RTC located on CP
slave, then Russell needed to do the following:

devmem2 0xf428401c w 0
devmem2 0xf4284018 w 0x2000

The question being what does that do and whether it could be done in the
driver instead.

The first time the RTC is powered up it needed to be reset. It is the
purpose of these 2 lines. As it should be done only one time when a the
RTC is powered of the first time it was chosen to be done in the
bootloader.

Maybe later it could be part of the kernel, as an optional parameter for
instance, but currently I don't know if there is more involved when
resetting the RTC.
