1e943c586a hw/misc: Add a PWM module for NPCM7XX
The PWM module is part of NPCM7XX module. Each NPCM7XX module has two
identical PWM modules. Each module contains 4 PWM entries. Each PWM has
two outputs: frequency and duty_cycle. Both are computed using inputs
from software side.

This module does not model detail pulse signals since it is expensive.
It also does not model interrupts and watchdogs that are dependant on
the detail models. The interfaces for these are left in the module so
that anyone in need for these functionalities can implement on their
own.

The user can read the duty cycle and frequency using qom-get command.

77c05b0b74 hw/adc: Add an ADC module for NPCM7XX
The ADC is part of NPCM7XX Module. Its behavior is controled by the
ADC_CON register. It converts one of the eight analog inputs into a
digital input and stores it in the ADC_DATA register when enabled.

Users can alter input value by using qom-set QMP command.

526dbbe087 hw/gpio: Add GPIO model for Nuvoton NPCM7xx
The NPCM7xx chips have multiple GPIO controllers that are mostly
identical except for some minor differences like the reset values of
some registers. Each controller controls up to 32 pins.

Each individual pin is modeled as a pair of unnamed GPIOs -- one for
emitting the actual pin state, and one for driving the pin externally.
Like the nRF51 GPIO controller, a gpio level may be negative, which
means the pin is not driven, or floating.

e23e7b1259 hw/arm/npcm7xx: Add EHCI and OHCI controllers
The NPCM730 and NPCM750 chips have a single USB host port shared between
a USB 2.0 EHCI host controller and a USB 1.1 OHCI host controller. This
adds support for both of them.

Testing notes:
  * With -device usb-kbd, qemu will automatically insert a full-speed
    hub, and the keyboard becomes controlled by the OHCI controller.
  * With -device usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0,port=1, the keyboard is directly
    attached to the port without any hubs, and the device becomes
    controlled by the EHCI controller since it's high speed capable.
  * With -device usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0,port=1,usb_version=1, the
    keyboard is directly attached to the port, but it only advertises
    itself as full-speed capable, so it becomes controlled by the OHCI
    controller.

In all cases, the keyboard device enumerates correctly.

326ccfe240 hw/misc: Add npcm7xx random number generator
The RNG module returns a byte of randomness when the Data Valid bit is
set.

This implementation ignores the prescaler setting, and loads a new value
into RNGD every time RNGCS is read while the RNG is enabled and random
data is available.

A qtest featuring some simple randomness tests is included.

The company 'Arm' went through a rebranding some years back
involving a recapitalization from 'ARM' to 'Arm'. As a result
our documentation is a bit inconsistent between the two forms.
It's not worth trying to update everywhere in QEMU, but it's
easy enough to make docs/ consistent.

Note that "ARMv8" and similar architecture names, and
older CPU names like "ARM926" still retain all-caps.

34f18ab14d docs: Move arm-cpu-features.rst into the system manual
Now we have somewhere to put arm-specific rst documentation,
we can move arm-cpu-features.rst from the docs/ top level
directory into docs/system/arm/.

c11a8e890c docs/system: Split target-arm.rst into sub-documents
Currently the documentation for Arm system emulator targets is in a
single target-arm.rst.  This describes only some of the boards and
often in a fairly abbreviated fashion. Restructure it so that each
board has its own documentation file in the docs/system/arm/
subdirectory.

This will hopefully encourage us to write board documentation that
describes the board in detail, rather than a few brief paragraphs
in a single long page. The table of contents should also help users
to find the board they care about faster.

Once the structure is in place we'll be able to move microvm.rst
from the top-level docs/ directory.

All the text from the old page is retained, except for the final
paragraph ("A Linux 2.6 test image is available on the QEMU web site.
More information is available in the QEMU mailing-list archive."),
which is deleted. The git history shows this was originally added
in reference to the integratorcp board (at that time the only
Arm board that was supported), and has subsequently gradually been
further and further separated from the integratorcp documentation
by the insertion of other board documentation sections. It's
extremely out of date and no longer accurate, since AFAICT there
isn't an integratorcp kernel on the website any more; so better
deleted than retained.
