Felix Fietkau 576621f1e3 linux: add support of Synopsys ARC770-based boards
This patch introduces support of new boards with ARC cores.

 [1] Synopsys SDP board
     This is a new-generation development board from Synopsys that
     consists of base-board and CPU tile-board (which might have a real
     ASIC or FPGA with CPU image).
     It sports a lot of DesignWare peripherals like GMAC, USB, SPI, I2C
     etc and is intended to be used for early development of ARC-based
     products.

 [2] nSIM
     This is a virtual board implemented in Synopsys proprietary
     software simulator (even though available for free for open source
     community). This board has only serial port as a peripheral and so
     it is meant to be used for runtime testing which is especially
     useful during bring-up of new tools and platforms.
     What's also important ARC cores are very configurable so there're
     many variations of options like cache sizes, their line lengths,
     additional hardware blocks like multipliers, dividers etc. And this
     board could be used to make sure built software still runs on
     different HW configurations.

Subject: [PATCH] openwrt: arc - remove dependency on DEVTMPFS
OpenWRT builds initramfs so that it doesn't require DEVTMPFS so dropping
this dependency. That helps to escape 2 separate kernel rebuilds with
and without initramfs.
2 builds happen because OpenWRT first builds kernel and later modules.
When building entire kernel with simple "make" INITRAMFS sets to a real
value and so was triggering DEVTMPFS selection. Then when building only
modules with "make modules" command INITRAMFS is zeroed and so kernel
config was changing that lead to full kernel rebuild.
