Yutang Jiang c6c731fe31 layerscape: add 64b/32b target for ls1043ardb device
Add support for NXP layerscape ls1043ardb 64b/32b Dev board.

LS1043a is an SoC with 4x64-bit up to 1.6 GHz ARMv8 A53 cores.
ls1043ardb support features as: 2GB DDR4, 128MB NOR/512MB NAND, USB3.0, eSDHC,
I2C, GPIO, PCIe/Mini-PCIe, 6x1G/1x10G network port, etc.

64b/32b ls1043ardb target is using 4.4 kernel, and rcw/u-boot/fman images from
NXP QorIQ SDK release.

All of 4.4 kernel patches porting from SDK release or upstream.

QorIQ SDK ISOs can be downloaded from this location:

Subject: [PATCH 21/70] net: Make the netdev watchdog aware of hardware
multiqueue devices
If the netdev declares the NETIF_F_HW_ACCEL_MQ (accelerated multiqueue)
capability, tell the watchdog to consider the per-netdev trans_start
field rather than any individual multiqueue's timestamp. That is
justified by the fact that queues only go in and out of congestion
in groups, not individually, as far as the net device is concerned.
