Linus Walleij f2a8763587 uboot-bcm53xx: Add U-Boot for NorthStar BCM53xx 
I recently added support for the NorthStar ARM BCM53xx SoCs
to the upstream U-Boot. This is a back port on top of the
2023.04 version already imported to OpenWrt with the 5 necessary
upstream patches.

This is needed to create a small U-Boot for the BCM53xx-based
D-Link DIR-890L and I think also the DIR-885L, so that a
recent (bigger) kernel can be loaded and executed from the
SEAMA partitions on these devices.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] board: Add new Broadcom Northstar board
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This adds a simple Northstar "BRCMNS" board to be used with
the BCM4708x and BCM5301x chips.
The main intention is to use this with the D-Link DIR-890L
and DIR-885L routers for loading the kernel into RAM from
NAND memory using the BCH-1 ECC and using the separately
submitted SEAMA load command, so we are currently not adding
support for things such as networking.
The DTS file is a multiplatform NorthStar board, designed to
be usable with several NorthStar designs by avoiding any
particulars not related to the operation of U-Boot.
If other board need other ECC for example, they need to
create a separate DTS file and augment the code, but I don't
know if any other users will turn up.

+Broadcom Northstar Boards
+=========================
+
+This document describes how to use U-Boot on the Broadcom Northstar
+boards, comprised of the Cortex A9 ARM-based BCM470x and BCM5301x SoCs. These
+were introduced in 2012-2013 and some of them are also called StrataGX.
+
+Northstar is part of the iProc SoC family.
+
+A good overview of these boards can be found in Jon Mason's presentation
+"Enabling New Hardware in U-Boot" where the difference between Northstar
+and Northstar Plus and Northstar 2 (Aarch64) is addressed.
+
+The ROM in the Northstar SoC will typically look into NOR flash memory
+for a boot loader, and the way this works is undocumented. It should be
+possible to execute U-Boot as the first binary from the NOR flash but
+this usage path is unexplored. Please add information if you know more.
+
+D-Link Boards
+-------------
+
+When we use U-Boot with D-Link routers, the NOR flash has a boot loader
+and web server that can re-flash the bigger NAND flash memory for object
+code in the SEAMA format, so on these platforms U-Boot is converted into
+a SEAMA binary and installed in the SoC using the flash tool resident in
+the NOR flash. Details can be found in the OpenWrt project codebase.
