Ian Pozella 52c17bff3c pistachio: add 4.9 kernel support
This adds kernel support for the Pistachio SoC and the Marduk (Ci40)
board which uses it.

Much of the code for Pistachio has been upstreamed however some
patches are still required to boot from the Marduk board:
 * spi bug fixes
 * dma bug fixes
 * pistachio internal clock tree bug fixes
 * spi-nand implementation
 * dts based mtd device naming scheme
 * dts backports and bug fixes

Subject: clockevents: Retry programming min delta up to 10 times
Under virtualisation it is possible to get unexpected latency during a
clockevent device's set_next_event() callback which can make it return
-ETIME even for a delta based on min_delta_ns.
The clockevents_program_min_delta() implementation for
CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST=n doesn't handle retries when this
happens, nor does clockevents_program_event() or its callers when force
is true (for example hrtimer_reprogram()). This can result in hangs
until the clock event device does a full period.
It isn't appropriate to use MIN_ADJUST in this case as occasional
hypervisor induced high latency will cause min_delta_ns to quickly
increase to the maximum.
Instead, borrow the retry pattern from the MIN_ADJUST case, but without
making adjustments. We retry up to 10 times before giving up.
