This patch set deletes the RealView board files and moves it
over to a pure Device Tree boot, deleting ~3500 LoC.

Prerequisites:
- The MTD driver patch handling the flash memory write
  protection and VPP enable must go into the MTD subsystem.
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=145380689210787&w=2

- The CLCD device tree support patches (uncontroversial set)
  must go into the FBDEV subsystem.
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-fbdev&m=145622172219039&w=2

- I must queue the device tree patches for the Evaluation
  Boards and Platform Baseboard and Platform Baseboard
  Explore before these patches.

However this is how it will look once the above is in place,
and it will support everything the kernel already supports
today.

Tested on the real hardware for PB1176JZF-S and PB11MPCore.
Tested on QEMU for 1136, 1176, 11MPCore and Cortex-A9 EB,
Platform Baseboard for Cortex-A8 and Platform Baseboard Explore
for Cortex-A9 variants.

Linus Walleij (4):
  ARM: realview: delete the RealView board files
  ARM: realview: reduce the RealView Kconfig
  ARM: realview: imply Device Tree config
  ARM: realview: cut board options from defconfig

We select all we need to the device tree boot and and do not
really need all the sub-options to get this running smoothly.
We will support the ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7 or ARMv6+ARMv7
build depending on what the user selects.

This cuts the RealView DT Kconfig to be the same as
CONFIG_ARCH_REALVIEW and rids one Kconfig option.

This kills off the now unused board configuration symbols for
the different RealView boards from the RealView defconfig.

The 'select USE_OF' can now be dropped, I guess this was left over
from the multiplatform patches, but also fits in here.

REALVIEW_HIGH_PHYS_OFFSET can go away as well, as it is only used
in 'realview_fixup', which in turn is called by the removed board
files.

Awesome!

This leaves the question whether we should do all the preparation
in 4.6 and then only take these for 4.7, or do them all at
once. I can see good reasons either way, but none of them
particularly strong. What did you have in mind here?

If the dependencies in CLCD and MTD make it in we'll just
merge the whole thing IMO.

If these drag out, we merge the device trees and wait with
removing the board files until v4.7.

I will still have some remaining cleanup for Integrator, Versatile
and also Versatile Express however, but that is for later.
