[GIT PULL] ARM: mvebu: stable fix for v3.13

[Jason Cooper]

arm-soc folks,

Sorry for the lateness in the window on this one.  I'd like to see it
get into v3.13 if possible, but if it doesn't get there till v3.13.1, I
understand.

This fixes a boot hang experienced on some Openblocks AX3-4 boards.
Once i2c transaction support was added, it was discovered that the A0
revision of the Armada XP had broken offload support which causes the
kernel to hang at boot.  The only way to detect this situation is to
read the PCI config register to get the SoC revision, then disable
offload if we are on an A0 SoC.

Unfortunately, this makes for a rather large patch series against
stable.  Doing the fix in a smaller patch would create a runtime
dependency between i2c and PCI which we prefer to avoid.

I'm Cc'ing Greg and linux-stable as a heads-up, and so they can comment
or ask questions.

thx,

Jason.

And... despite typing the stable ML address quite often, I still got it
wrong.  Need more coffee.

Since it touches arch/arm, drivers, and bindings I'm a little reluctant
to take it in to v3.13 at this point since we're already at -rc8.  

I've merged it into next/fixes-non-critical so it goes in right away for
v3.14, and your stable tags will get it into v3.12+

Thanks,

Kevin

ok, that was my thought as well, but I didn't want to assume one way or
the other.

Great!  Thanks.

It's a big change for stable, but as it's self-contained, and only
touches one platform/driver, I'll take it...
