We changed the RCU controller drivers for kernel 4.14 and this was
missing for the Amazon SE SoC. The xrx200/VR9 SoC is the successor of
the Amazon SE and Danube SoC, but the older SoCs still share the
architecture and many IP cores with the more recent ones.
This is also relevant for upstream kernel, should I extend the
descriptions of the commit messages and send a V2 of the 3 patches?
