[0/6] Initial Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) support

Message

Add basic initial support for the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) smartphone.
This phone is also known as "jackpotlte" and under the model name
"SM-A530F". In its current state this should work on most if not all
Exynos7885 phones/devices released.

As of now, it supports I2C nodes (all disabled by default) and UART
console with basic clock support in place.

To access the UART console on the A8, there are two methods:
  -You can open up the device and solder directly to some debug pins
   close to the display connector.
  -Through I2C you can set the S2MU004 MFD chip to multiplex the SoC's
   UART lines to the d+ and d- on the USB Type-C port of the device.

Note that UART works on 1.8 volts, so plugging in a normal USB cable
while multiplexed to UART may fry the SoC.

Everything was tested through UART by using a minimal driver that sets
the S2MU004 to multiplex UART.

The preferred way to boot this device is using my Minimal S-Boot Wrapper
[1] to work around some issues caused by the stock, and non-replacable
Samsung S-Boot bootloader.

I accidentally forgot to CC Sam Protsenko, so I'll CC him in this
email, so hopefully it gets to him!

I think it would have been important to CC him as he is the author of
the original Exynos850 clock driver that the initial 7885 clock driver
included in this series was based on. I just realized I didn't do it
while the emails were already being sent.

Best Regards,
David

Thank you, it is good to see support for more hardware.

Can I get you to cc [e-mail] mailing list in future?

Besst regards,

Sure, I did not know about this mailing list. I will CC it in the
future!
