Allow for single (external-data) FIT image to hold kernel, dtb and
squashfs. In that way, the bootloader verifies the system integrity
including the rootfs, because what's the point of checking that the
hash of the kernel is correct if it won't boot in case of squashfs
being corrupted? Better allow bootloader to check everything needed
to make it at least up to failsafe mode. As a positive side effect
this change also makes the sysupgrade process on nand potentially
much easier as it is now.
In short: mkimage has a parameter '-E' which allows generating FIT
images with 'external' data rather than embedding the data into the
device-tree blob itself. In this way, the FIT structure itself remains
small and can be parsed easily (rather than having to page around
megabytes of image content). This patch makes use of that and adds
support for adding sub-images of type 'filesystem' which are used to
store the squashfs. Now U-Boot can verify the whole OS and the new
partition parsers added in the Linux kernel can detect the filesystem
sub-images, create partitions for them, and select the active rootfs
volume based on the configuration in FIT (passing configuration via
device tree could be implemented easily at a later stage).
This new FIT partition parser works for NOR flash (on top of mtdblock),
NAND flash (on top of ubiblock) as well as classic block devices
(ie. eMMC, SDcard, SATA, NVME, ...).
It could even be used to mount such FIT images via `losetup -P` on a
user PC if this patch gets included in Linux upstream one day ;)

Marvell mv88e6xxx switch series cannot perform MAC learning from
CPU-injected (FROM_CPU) DSA frames, which results in 2 issues.
- excessive flooding, due to the fact that DSA treats those addresses
as unknown
- the risk of stale routes, which can lead to temporary packet loss
Backport those patch series from netdev mailing list, which solve these
issues by adding and clearing static entries to the switch's FDB.
Add a hack patch to set default VID to 1 in port_fdb_{add,del}. Otherwise
the static entries will be added to the switch's private FDB if VLAN
filtering disabled, which will not work.
The switch may generate an "ATU violation" warning when a client moves
from the CPU port to a switch port because the static ATU entry added by
DSA core still points to the CPU port. DSA core will then clear the static
entry so it is not fatal. Disable the warning so it will not confuse users.

This patch allows devices without a high resolution timer to boot up faster.
It should speed up boots for bcm2708 and bcm63xx.

When recursively deleting partitions, don't acquire the masters
partition lock twice. Otherwise the process endy up in a deadlocked

Reapply changes added to 5.4 but not copied to 5.10:
3da4acaa7b ("kernel: fix busy wait loop in mediatek PPE code")
The intention is for the loop to timeout if the body does not succeed.
The current logic calls time_is_before_jiffies(timeout) which is false
until after the timeout, so the loop body never executes.
time_is_after_jiffies(timeout) will return true until timeout is less
than jiffies, which is the intended behavior here.
