2e5a0b81ec mvebu: sysupgrade: sdcard: keep user added partitons
Currently sysupgrade overwrites whole disk and destroys partitions added
by user. Sync the sysupgrade code with the one present in x86 target to
remedy this behaviour.

727c3df5bb mvebu: shrink amount of packages and reorganize them
Since most of devices using SD card image to boot, use ext4 as boot
files system we can drop fat fs related packages. Also move packages
which are added repeatedly across subtargets to their default packages,
with droping the ones that are enabled in target kernel configugation.

584d7c53bd mvebu: new subtarget cortex A53
This commit introduces new subtarget for Marvell EBU Armada Cortex A53
processor based devices.

The first device is Globalscale ESPRESSObin. Some hardware specs:

SoC: Marvell Armada 3700LP (88F3720) dual core ARM Cortex A53
     processor up to 1.2GHz
RAM: 512MB, 1GB or 2GB DDR3
Storage: SATA interface
         µSD card slot with footprint for an optional 4GB EMMC
         4MB SPI NOR flash for bootloader
Ethernet: Topaz Networking Switch (88E6341) with 3x GbE ports
Connectors: USB 3.0
            USB 2.0
            µUSB port connected to PL2303SA (USB to serial bridge
            controller) for UART access
Expansion: 2x 46-pin GPIO headers for accessories and shields with
           I2C, GPIOs, PWM, UART, SPI, MMC, etc
           MiniPCIe slot
Misc: Reset button, JTAG interface

Currently booting only from µSD card is supported.
The boards depending on date of dispatch can come with various U-Boot
versions. For the newest version 2017.03-armada-17.10 no manual
intervention should be needed to boot OpenWrt image. For the older ones
it's necessary to modify default U-Boot environment:

 1. Interrupt boot process to run U-Boot command line,

 2. Run following commands:
    (for version 2017.03-armada-17.06 and 2017.03-armada-17.08)
     setenv bootcmd "load mmc 0:1 0x4d00000 boot.scr; source 0x4d00000"
     saveenv

    (for version 2015.01-armada-17.02 and 2015.01-armada-17.04)
     setenv bootargs "console=ttyMV0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait"
     setenv bootcmd "ext4load mmc 0:1 ${fdt_addr} armada-3720-espressobin.dtb; ext4load mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr} Image; booti ${kernel_addr} - ${fdt_addr}"
     saveenv

 3. Poweroff, insert SD card with OpenWrt image, boot and enjoy.
