Paul Burton 3f5f0a4475 MIPS: generic: Convert SEAD-3 to a generic board
Convert the MIPS SEAD-3 board support to be a generic board, supported
by generic kernels.

Because the SEAD-3 boot protocol was defined long ago and we don't want
to force a switch to the UHI protocol, SEAD-3 is added as a legacy board
which is detected by reading the REVISION register. This may technically
not be a valid memory read & future work will include attempting to
handle that gracefully. In practice since SEAD-3 is the only legacy
board supported by the generic kernel so far the read will only happen
on SEAD-3 boards, and even once Malta is converted the same REVISION
register exists there too. Other boards such as Boston, Ci20 & Ci40 will
use the UHI boot protocol & thus not run any of the legacy board detect
functions.

Select this from your board if the board must use a legacy, non-UHI,
boot protocol. This will cause the kernel to scan through the list of
supported machines calling their detect functions in turn if the
kernel is booted without being provided with an FDT via the UHI
boot protocol.

Enable this to include support for booting on MIPS SEAD-3 FPGA-based
development boards, which boot using a legacy boot protocol.
