Commit 683eab94da75bc ("powerpc/fadump: setup additional parameters for
dump capture kernel") introduced the additional parameter feature in
fadump for HASH MMU with the understanding that GRUB does not use the
memory area between 640MB and 768MB for its operation.

However, the third patch ("powerpc: increase MIN RMA size for CAS
negotiation") in this series is changing the MIN RMA size to 768MB,
allowing GRUB to use memory up to 768MB. This makes the fadump
reservation for the additional parameter feature for HASH MMU
unreliable.

To address this, export the MIN_RMA so that the next patch
("powerpc/fadump: fix additional param memory reservation for HASH MMU")
can identify the correct memory range for the additional parameter
feature in fadump for HASH MMU.

On some powermacs `escc` nodes are missing `#size-cells` properties,
which is deprecated and now triggers a warning at boot since commit
045b14ca5c36 ("of: WARN on deprecated #address-cells/#size-cells
handling").

For example:

  Missing '#size-cells' in /pci@f2000000/mac-io@c/escc@13000
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/of/base.c:133 of_bus_n_size_cells+0x98/0x108
  Hardware name: PowerMac3,1 7400 0xc0209 PowerMac
  ...
  Call Trace:
    of_bus_n_size_cells+0x98/0x108 (unreliable)
    of_bus_default_count_cells+0x40/0x60
    __of_get_address+0xc8/0x21c

    pmz_console_init+0x10/0x48
    console_init+0xcc/0x138
    start_kernel+0x5c4/0x694

As powermacs boot via prom_init it's possible to add the missing
properties to the device tree during boot, avoiding the warning. Note
that `escc-legacy` nodes are also missing `#size-cells` properties, but
they are skipped by the macio driver, so leave them alone.

<title>powerpc/64: Remove maple platform</title>

The maple platform was added in 2004 [1], to support the "Maple" 970FX
evaluation board.

It was later used for IBM JS20/JS21 machines, as well as the Bimini
machine, aka "Yellow Dog Powerstation".

Sadly all those machines have passed into memory, and there's been no
evidence for years that anyone is still using any of them.

Remove the platform and related code. It can always be reinstated if
there's interest.

Note that this has no impact on support for 970FX based Power Macs.

<title>powerpc/mm: Align memory_limit value specified using mem= kernel parameter</title>

The value specified for the memory limit is used to set a restriction on
memory usage. It is important to ensure that this restriction is within
the linear map kernel address space range. The hash page table
translation uses a 16MB page size to map the kernel linear map address
space. htab_bolt_mapping() function aligns down the size of the range
while mapping kernel linear address space. Since the memblock limit is
enforced very early during boot, before we can detect the type of memory
translation (radix vs hash), we align the memory limit value specified
as a kernel parameter to 16MB. This alignment value will work for both
hash and radix translations.

Add CPU table entries for raw and architected mode. Most fields are
copied from the Power10 table entries.

CPU, MMU and user (ELF_HWCAP) features are unchanged vs P10. However
userspace can detect P11 because the AT_PLATFORM value changes to
"power11".

The logical PVR value of 0x0F000007, passed to firmware via the
ibm_arch_vec, indicates the kernel can support a P11 compatible CPU,
which means at least ISA v3.1 compliant.

Sparse reports several endianness warnings on variables and functions

fruit up in one patch.

All changes are just type annotations; no endianness switching
