This series aims at bringing the Raspberry Pi 4 platform to a state
where its firmware can actually be used with Linux OSes

For instance, we have tested installation of vanilla Debian 10.2 on
a USB 3.0 flash drive with a UEFI firmware built with these patches
and, notwhistanding the lack of NIC or SD support (that have to do
with these drivers not being included/finalized in the current Debian 
kernel), found that the system could be installed and could run
without trouble.

A few caveats are however required to achieve this:
* If using the serial console, the platform UART should be set to
  PL011 rather than miniUART, as the miniUART baudrate is altered
  when the CPU throttles.
* ACPI needs to be enforced over Device Tree, with some additional
  limitations regarding the maximum amount of RAM reported (3 GB
  max) due to DMA.

This series effectively introduces two new build flags (PL011_ENABLE,
ACPI_BASIC_MODE_ENABLE) to deal with the above.

The rest of the series has mostly to do with ACPI improvements to
make the above possible by:
* Harmonizing and cleaning up existing ACPI sources
* Using full aslc code for FADT, SPCR and DBG2
* Adding an XHCI table as well as a dummy MCFG table (the latter
  only being added to suppress a warning from the kernel about
  missing MCFG, since PCIe for that platform is not ECAM compliant)
