[PATCH v3 2/2] bsp/raspberrypi: Mini UART driver

I tried running my raspberrypi BSP image that worked on the Pi Zero
and W, but it did not work on the Pi 3.

I built the raspberrypi2 BSP, used objcopy to copy the binary to my sd
card as kernel7.img, and it works on my Pi 3 and Pi3 A+ ( without
ethernet) . Note that my config.txt file does not specify the kernel
image, so the firmware defaults to kernel.img for the single core
models and kernel7.img for the 2 and 3.

I probably wont get a chance to try u-boot until later today or tomorrow.

But these patches are great for enabling the Pi Zero W and Pi 3 models!
Thanks,
Alan
