Clean up instances of casts to the type that a value already has, since
they are effectively no-ops and only serve to complicate the code.
This is the result of the following semantic patch:
@identitycast@
type T;
T *A;

- (T *)(A)
+ A

MIPS will soon not be a part of Imagination Technologies, and as such
many @imgtec.com email addresses will no longer be valid. This patch
updates the addresses for those who:
- Have 10 or more patches in mainline authored using an @imgtec.com
email address, or any patches dated within the past year.
- Are still with Imagination but leaving as part of the MIPS business
unit, as determined from an internal email address list.
- Haven't already updated their email address (ie. JamesH) or expressed
a desire to be excluded (ie. Maciej).
- Acked v2 or earlier of this patch, which leaves Deng-Cheng, Matt &
myself.
New addresses are of the form firstname.lastname@mips.com, and all
verified against an internal email address list. An entry is added to
.mailmap for each person such that get_maintainer.pl will report the new
addresses rather than @imgtec.com addresses which will soon be dead.
Instances of the affected addresses throughout the tree are then
mechanically replaced with the new @mips.com address.

After the split of linux/sched.h, KASLR stopped building.
Fix this by including the correct header file for init_thread_union

If the DTB is located in the target memory area for the relocated kernel
it needs to be relocated as well before kernel relocation takes place.
After copying the DTB use the new plat_fdt_relocated() API from the
relocated kernel to ensure the relocated kernel updates any information
that it may have cached about the location of the DTB.
plat_fdt_relocated is declared as a weak symbol so that platforms that
do not require it do not need to implement the method.

This hook provides the platform the chance to perform any required
setup before the boot processor switches to the relocated kernel.
The relocated kernel has been copied and fixed up ready for execution
at this point. Secondary CPUs may wish to switch to it early. There
is also the opportunity for the platform to abort jumping to the
relocated kernel if there is anything wrong with the chosen offset.

If platform code returns a NULL pointer to the FDT, initial_boot_params
will not get set to a valid pointer and attempting to find the /chosen
node in it will cause a NULL pointer dereference and the kernel to crash
immediately on startup - with no output to the console.
Fix this by checking that initial_boot_params is valid before using it.

This patch adds KASLR to the MIPS kernel.
Entropy is derived from the banner, which will change every build and
random_get_entropy() which should provide additional runtime entropy.
Additionally the bootloader may pass entropy via the /chosen/kaslr-seed
node in device tree.
The kernel is relocated by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET bytes from
its link address (PHYSICAL_START). Because relocation happens so early
in the kernel boot, the amount of physical memory has not yet been
determined. This means the only way to limit relocation within the
available memory is via Kconfig.

arch/mips/kernel/relocate.c contains the functions necessary to relocate
the kernel elsewhere in memory
The kernel makes a copy of itself at the new address. It uses the
relocation table inserted by the relocs tool to fix symbol references
within the new image.
If copy/relocation is sucessful then the entry point of the new kernel
is returned, otherwise fall back to starting the kernel in place.
