Add MFD driver for ARM64 SOCFPGA System Manager to steer
System Manager calls appropriately.
The SOCFPGA System Manager includes registers from several
SOC peripherals.

On ARM32, syscon handles this aggregated register grouping.
Redirect System Manager calls to syscon for ARM32 SOCFPGA
systems.

The ARM64 System Manager can only be accessed from priority
level EL3 so this new MFD driver handles the calls to EL3.

  ARM: socfpga_defconfig: Enable CONFIG_MTD_ALTERA_SYSMGR
  arm64: defconfig: Enable CONFIG_MTD_ALTERA_SYSMGR

"Please don't send content free pings and please allow a reasonable time
for review.  People get busy, go on holiday, attend conferences and so
on so unless there is some reason for urgency (like critical bug fixes)
please allow at least a couple of weeks for review.  If there have been
review comments then people may be waiting for those to be addressed.
Sending content free pings just adds to the mail volume (if they are
seen at all) and if something has gone wrong you'll have to resend the
patches anyway so resending with any comments addressed is generally a
much better approach."

In this case, the we are too late in the series to have these
applied.  Maintainers are generally preparing their submissions for
the merge-window.  The MFD component of this set is marked as "To
Review" and I will get around to it when time is more abundant.

Gentle ping now that the merge window is over.

I'm not clear on the scolding for content free pings.

Other pings I've seen just reference the patch series summary instead of 
each patch individually. It seems like pings for each patch would add 
more to the mail volume than the summary but perhaps I'm 
misunderstanding something.  I'm happy to ping each patch separately if 
that is preferable.

Please don't ping at all.  If you would like to attract attention,
please resend your patch-set with s/[PATCH]/[RESEND]/.
