[GIT,PULL,0/6] ARM SoC changes for v5.12

5.12 seems to be a fairly quiet release for the SoC tree. The main
highlights are:

 - Removing six of the older platforms that have no known users, as well
   as the arch/c6x architecture. Despite all that removed code, there is still
   a small overall growth:
   907 files changed, 33888 insertions(+), 26918 deletions(-)
   I sent patches to remove an additional 50875 lines of driver code for these
   platforms, but those patches are merged through other subsystem trees.

- Support for three additional SoCs: Broadcom BCM4908 is used in wireless
  routers, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 is the latest high-end phone chip and
  Qualcomm X55 is the a 5G modem chip that can also run as a standalone SoC

- Support for the Apple M1 is coming up nicely, but didn't make the cut this
  time as there are still some fundamental decisions to be made, expect this
  to be added for v5.13.

- Among the newly supported boards, there are once more a number of older
  mobile phones and tables, as well as modern development platforms and
  industrial machines

- A total of 752 non-merge changesets were written by 187 individual
  developers. The six branches contain 78 pull requests from 29 downstream
  maintainers, as well as a small number of patches that I applied directly.
