Luka Perkov 3af779eb17 mvebu: backport mainline patches from kernel 3.12
This is a backport of the patches accepted to the Linux mainline related to
mvebu SoC (Armada XP and Armada 370) between Linux v3.11, and Linux v3.12.
This work mainly covers:

* Ground work for sharing the pxa nand driver(drivers/mtd/nand/pxa3xx_nand.c)
  between the PXA family,and the Armada family.
* Further updates to the mvebu MBus.
* Work and ground work for enabling MSI on the Armada family.
* some phy / mdio bus initialization related work.
* Device tree binding documentation update.

mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Remove hardcoded mtd name
There's no advantage in using a hardcoded name for the mtd device.
Instead use the provided by the platform_device.
The MTD name was changed to use the one provided by the platform_device.
However, this can be problematic as some users want to set partitions
using the kernel parameter 'mtdparts', where the name is needed.
Therefore, to avoid regressions in users relying in 'mtdparts' we revert
the change and use the previous one 'pxa3xx_nand-0'.
While at it, let's put a big comment and prevent this change from happening
ever again.
