hi Arnd
just a ping, on Alex's proposal (below) about armv7m_restart
(Currently "restart" is not functional on stm32 MCU).

This patch prepares the STM32 machine for the integration of Cortex-A
based microprocessor (MPU), on top of the existing Cortex-M
microcontroller family (MCU). Since both MCUs and MPUs are sharing
common hardware blocks we can keep using ARCH_STM32 flag for most of
them. If a hardware block is specific to one family we can use either
ARM_SINGLE_ARMV7M or ARCH_MULTI_V7 flag.

Looks good overall. Two more small comments:
+if ARCH_STM32
+
config MACH_STM32F429
- bool "STMicrolectronics STM32F429"
- depends on ARCH_STM32
+ bool "STMicroelectronics STM32F429"
+ depends on ARM_SINGLE_ARMV7M
default y
Instead of the explicit dependency for each board, I'd leave the
surrounding
'if ARM_SINGLE_ARMV7M'. I think you had in v1.

rename to arch/arm/mach-stm32/board-mcu-dt.c
Why the rename? I don't expect the new machines to have any notable
contents in a board file, if any at all, so just use one file for both.
I see the board-dt.c file refers to armv7m_restart, we can either put
that in an #ifdef, or find a way to make it the default for all armv7-m
platforms that don't provide any other restart method.
Currently "restart" is not functional on stm32 MCU (at least for
stm32f746, I will check on others MCU). My fear is if Ludovic made some
patches to make "armv7m_restart" the default ".restart" function for all
armv7-m platform, he will not be able to test it on stm32 MCU (as it is
not currently working). I propose to do it in 2 steps:
1-Keep as you suggest only one board-dt.c file for both (MCU and MPU)
and remove ".restart" function.
2-Investigate and send patches around ".restart" for both in an other
series.
I resend
