The armada_cfg_base() function returns the base address of the
registers that allow to configure the decoding for a particular
address window. On Armada 370/XP, the lower windows have more
configuration registers (4 registers) than the higher windows (2
registers). This armada_cfg_base() takes this into account by doing a
different offset calculation depending on the window number, but this
offset calculation was wrong for the higher windows.
Even though we were not using high window numbers until now (only
window 0 is used to map the BootROM, needed for SMP), we use this
function at boot time to disable all windows to ensure that nothing
remains intialized from what the bootloader has done.
Unfortunately, the U-Boot on the OpenBlocks AX3-4 uses a window with a
high number (above 8) to remap the BootROM. And then when the kernel
boots, it remaps the BootROM in window 0. Normally, this is not a
problem, because all windows have previously been disabled. Except
that due to our wrong offset calculation, the windows with high
numbers were not properly disabled, leading to the BootROM being
mapped twice. The visible result of this bug was that the kernel was
unable to get the second CPU started on the OpenBlocks AX3-4
platform. With this fix, all windows are properly cleared at boot
time, the BootROM is remapped only once in window 0, and the second
CPU boots fine.
Thanks a lot to Lior Amsamlen <alior@marvell.com> for his help in
debugging this problem.

Strictly speaking, this bug was introduced in 3.7, but since the only
platforms supported in 3.7 were Armada 370 and Armada XP, and there
was anyway no SMP support at this time, it isn't really worth the
effort to push this patch in 3.7.
Armada 370 and XP come with an unit called coherency fabric. This unit
allows to use the Armada 370/XP as a nearly coherent architecture. The
coherency mechanism uses snoop filters to ensure the coherency between
caches, DRAM and devices. This mechanism needs a synchronization
barrier which guarantees that all the memory writes initiated by the
devices have reached their target and do not reside in intermediate
write buffers. That's why the architecture is not totally coherent and
we need to provide our own functions for some DMA operations.
Beside the use of the coherency fabric, the device units will have to
set the attribute flag of the decoding address window to select the
accurate coherency process for the memory transaction. This is done
each device driver programs the DRAM address windows. The value of the
attribute set by the driver is retrieved through the
orion_addr_map_cfg struct filled during the early initialization of
the platform.

This commit adds basic support for address decoding configuration for
the Armada 370 and Armada XP SoCs, re-using the infrastructure
provided in plat-orion.
For now, only a BootROM window is configured on Armada XP, which is
needed to get the non-boot CPUs started and is therefore a requirement
for SMP support.
