Ludovic Barre 3ed71f8ad9 ARM: stm32: prepare stm32 family to welcome armv7 architecture
This patch prepares the STM32 machine for the integration of Cortex-A
based microprocessor (MPU), on top of the existing Cortex-M
microcontroller family (MCU). Since both MCUs and MPUs are sharing
common hardware blocks we can keep using ARCH_STM32 flag for most of
them. If a hardware block is specific to one family we can use either
ARM_SINGLE_ARMV7M or ARCH_MULTI_V7 flag.

STM32 ARM Linux Overview
========================
Introduction
------------
The STMicroelectronics STM32 family of Cortex-A microprocessors (MPUs) and
Cortex-M microcontrollers (MCUs) are supported by the 'STM32' platform of
ARM Linux.
Configuration
-------------
For MCUs, use the provided default configuration:
make stm32_defconfig
For MPUs, use multi_v7 configuration:
make multi_v7_defconfig
Layout
------
All the files for multiple machine families are located in the platform code
contained in arch/arm/mach-stm32
There is a generic board board-dt.c in the mach folder which support
Flattened Device Tree, which means, it works with any compatible board with
Device Trees.
