Marek Behún 7109d817db arm64: dts: marvell: add DTS for Turris Mox
This adds support for the Turris Mox board from CZ.NIC.

Turris Mox is as modular router based on the Armada 3720 SOC (same as
EspressoBin).

The basic board can be extended by different modules.
If those are connected, U-Boot lets the kernel know via device-tree.

Since modules can be connected in different order and some modules can
be connected multiple times (up to three modules containing 8-port
ethernet switch in DSA configuration can be connected) we decided
against using device-tree overlays, because it got complicated rather
quickly. (For example the SFP module can be connected directly to the
CPU, or after a switch module. There are four cases and all would need
different SFP overlay. There are two types of switch modules (8-port
with pass-through and 4-port with no pass-through). For those we would
again need at least 6 more overlays.)

We therefore decided to put all the possibly connected devices in one
device-tree and disable them by default. When U-Boot finds out which
modules are connected, it fixes the loaded device-tree accordingly just
before boot. By Rob Herring's suggestion we also made it so that U-Boot
completely removes nodes which are disabled after this fixup.
