The original patch of this series was sent in September but unfortunately
caused build problems on some boards, since they don't comply with the
of-platdata rules.

With of-platdata, the idea is to compile the device tree into C structures
to save space and avoid needing to use libfdt. But some boards use
of-platdata while also using libfdt in a few areas, thus defeating the
purpose of of-platdata.

This series includes the original two patches

   http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1167420/
   http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1167367/

as well as a few other patches to fix the build errors. Overall this
reduces code size and provides better error messages when unavailable
functions are used.

Board maintainers should still take a look at the result, adjusting the
of-platdata support as needed.

Changes in v5:
- Drop one rockchip patch as that issue has been fixed

Changes in v4:
- Add new patch for rockchip build errors
- Add new patch for omap MMC build errors
- Add new patch for rockchip chromebook build errors
- Pull out patches into a new series
- Add new patches to handle build failures

Changes in v3:
- Fix eth_dev_get_mac_address() call dev_read...() only when available

  rockchip: pinctrl: Disable full pinctrl for SPL
