This patch allows to build the Kernel for Vybrid (VF6xx) SoC
when ARMv7-M CPU is selected. The resulting image runs on the
secondary Cortex-M4 core. This core has equally access to all
peripherals as the main Cortex-A5 core. However, there is no
resource control mechanism, hence when both cores are used
simultaneously, orthogonal device tree's are required.
The boot CPU is dependent on the SoC variant. The available
boards use mostly variants where the Cortex-A5 is the primary
and hence the boot CPU. Booting the secondary Cortex-M4 CPU
needs SoC specific registers written. There is no in kernel
support for this right now, a external userspace utility
called "m4boot" can be used to boot the kernel:
m4boot xipImage initramfs.cpio.lzo vf610m4-colibri.dtb

The Vybrid SoC family (in the kernel known as vf610) is a familiy
of multiple similar SoC's. The VF5xx series comes without secondary
Cortex-M4 core, while the second number VFx1x indicates the presence
of a L2 cache controller.

System restart mechanism has been changed with the introduction
of "kernel restart handler call chain support". The imx2 watchdog
based restart handler has been moved to the driver, and these
restart can be removed from the machine layer.
This patch cleans up the device tree version machine reset init with
mxc_arch_reset_init_dt and removes corresponding .restart handler,
for the .init_machine that can be handled by system default after
removing the mxc_arch_reset_init_dt, the .init_machine is also removed.

Otherwise GCC will mark the .init.rodata section R/W, which causes
a compile error once we add other real R/O data.

Remove the explicit call to l2x0_of_init(), converting to the generic
infrastructure instead. Since the .init_irq method only calls
irqchip_init(), we can remove that too as the generic code will take
care of that.

They're u32, they're not unsigned long. The UL suffix is not required
here.

With arch/arm calling of_clk_init(NULL) from time_init(), we can now
remove custom .init_time hooks.
