Thomas Petazzoni 9ee99783d7 arm: add documentation describing Marvell families of SoC

As stated in the introduction of the document, the families of ARM
SoCs at Marvell are very complicated, and it is difficult for
newcomers to understand the organization of this SoC family and how it
relates to the Linux kernel support for those hardware platforms.

This document is only at RFC stage for now, it requires reviews and
comments from the Marvell maintainers, the PXA maintainers and the MMP
maintainers. For correctness of course, but also to add any other
information that would be useful. For example, one of the thing that
wasn't clear how to detail in the documentation is how the SoCs relate
to each other in terms of hardware IP blocks. For example, most of the
Kirkwood/Dove/Armada 370-XP/etc. hardware IPs (I2C, SPI, USB, SATA,
etc.) are identical, while the PXA and MMP families are completely
separate.

Changes from v3:
 * Add Arnd Bergmann Acked-by.

Changes from v2:
 * Mention the plat-<foo> directory that each SoC family is using.
 * Take into account Eric Miao's comments on the PXA/MMP families: add
   PXA21x/PXA25x/PXA26x to the list, mention which processors are
   AP+CP or AP only. Clarify the comments on which SoCs were designed
   by Intel, which ones were designed by Marvell after the acquisition
   of the XScale family.
 * Mention long-term plans regarding the support of those SoC
   families.

Changes from v1:
 * Added publicly available datasheet for the 88F5182 pointed by
   Andrew Lunn.
 * Added publicly available datasheet for the 88F5281 found with
   Google searches
 * Mentionned the Feroceon core name where appropriate, and Sheeva
   where appropriate
 * Fixed the core names for PXA930, PXA935 and PXA955 after comments
   from Arnd Bergmann. Wikipedia is mistakenly suggesting that PXA93x
   are Sheeva-based, and there isn't much information available on the

ARM Marvell SoCs
================

This document lists all the ARM Marvell SoCs that are currently
supported in mainline by the Linux kernel. As the Marvell families of
SoCs are large and complex, it is hard to understand where the support
for a particular SoC is available in the Linux kernel. This document
tries to help in understanding where those SoCs are supported, and to
match them with their corresponding public datasheet, when available.

   Comments:

    * This line of SoCs originates from the XScale family developed by
      Intel and acquired by Marvell in ~2006. The PXA21x, PXA25x,
      PXA26x, PXA27x, PXA3xx and PXA93x were developed by Intel, while
      the later PXA95x were developed by Marvell.

    * Due to their XScale origin, these SoCs have virtually nothing in
      common with the other (Kirkwood, Dove, etc.) families of Marvell
      SoCs, except with the MMP/MMP2 family of SoCs.

   Comments:

    * This line of SoCs originates from the XScale family developed by
      Intel and acquired by Marvell in ~2006. All the processors of
      this MMP/MMP2 family were developed by Marvell.

    * Due to their XScale origin, these SoCs have virtually nothing in

      SoCs, except with the PXA family of SoCs listed above.

   Linux kernel mach directory: arch/arm/mach-mmp
   Linux kernel plat directory: arch/arm/plat-pxa

Long-term plans
---------------

 * Unify the mach-dove/, mach-mv78xx0/, mach-orion5x/ and
   mach-kirkwood/ into the mach-mvebu/ to support all SoCs from the
   Marvell EBU (Engineering Business Unit) in a single mach-<foo>
   directory. The plat-orion/ would therefore disappear.

 * Unify the mach-mmp/ and mach-pxa/ into the same mach-pxa
   directory. The plat-pxa/ would therefore disappear.
