This enables misaligned access handling by software in Linux kernel.
With some wireless drivers (ath9k-htc and mt7601u for example) we see
misaligned accesses here and there and to cope with that without
fixing stuff in the drivers we're just gracefully handling it on ARC.

AXS101 beind a development board lacks built-in wireles inerfaces.
So we have to use external USB dongles to turn the board into
wireless router.
The best USB Wi-Fi dongles to work in AP-mode seem to be based on
ath9k-htc chipset.
And so with that change we add support of mentioned dongles in
default and axs101 builds.

Most of currently mentioned CFLAGS in arc770/Makefile
are not really required because:
[1] "-Os -pipe" are set by default in include/target.mk
[2] "-fno-caller-saves" gets enabled via menuconfig
as an extra compiler flag for developers
So the only one that makes sense is "-matomic" and
that one is really essential. Without it many software
packges won't build complainin on unresolved atomic ops.

While bumping kernel version kernel command line was
unintentionally modified in attempt to make it closer
to upstream version.
In case of AXS that has not only serial port but HDMI/USB
both capable of being debug console we have 2 entries in
kernel's command line:
------------------->8-----------------
console=tty0 console=ttyS3,115200n8
------------------->8-----------------
But as it turned out OpenWRT uses procd as init instead of
Busybox. And in its turn procd gets the first "console"
entry from kernel command line (/proc/cmdline) and uses it
if default inittab is used:
------------------->8-----------------
...
::askconsole:/bin/ash --login
------------------->8-----------------
So what we got is non-functional serial console.
That change removes "console=tty0" which brings serial
console back to life.

Given those patches are relevant to any ARC platform and even
ISA version it makes perfect sense for patches to exist
in one place instead of being duplicated for each new ARC-based ASIC.
Note this is a prerequisite for upstreaming of ARC HS38 support in
OpenWRT.

This switch involved:
[1] Regeneration of config (few options went away)
[2] Regeneration of patches so they apply cleanly (different offsets)
[3] Update of .dts files because we now explicitly specify
memory regions in use as opposed to previously used offset
from 0x8000_0000

This patch introduces support of new boards with ARC cores.
[1] Synopsys SDP board
This is a new-generation development board from Synopsys that
consists of base-board and CPU tile-board (which might have a real
ASIC or FPGA with CPU image).
It sports a lot of DesignWare peripherals like GMAC, USB, SPI, I2C
etc and is intended to be used for early development of ARC-based
products.
[2] nSIM
This is a virtual board implemented in Synopsys proprietary
software simulator (even though available for free for open source
community). This board has only serial port as a peripheral and so
it is meant to be used for runtime testing which is especially
useful during bring-up of new tools and platforms.
What's also important ARC cores are very configurable so there're
many variations of options like cache sizes, their line lengths,
additional hardware blocks like multipliers, dividers etc. And this
board could be used to make sure built software still runs on
different HW configurations.
