doc: Remove duplicated documentation directory

Commit ad7061ed742e ("doc: Move device tree bindings documentation to
 doc/device-tree-bindings") moved all device tree binding documentation
to doc/device-tree-bindings directory.

The current U-Boot project still have two documentation directories:

- doc/
- Documentation/

Move all documentation and sphinx files to doc directory so all content
can be in a common place.

+* ARM L2 Cache Controller
+
+ARM cores often have a separate L2C210/L2C220/L2C310 (also known as PL210/PL220/
+PL310 and variants) based level 2 cache controller. All these various implementations
+of the L2 cache controller have compatible programming models (Note 1).
+Some of the properties that are just prefixed "cache-*" are taken from section
+3.7.3 of the Devicetree Specification which can be found at:
+https://www.devicetree.org/specifications/
+
+The ARM L2 cache representation in the device tree should be done as follows:
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible : should be one of:
+  "arm,pl310-cache"
+  "arm,l220-cache"
+  "arm,l210-cache"
+  "bcm,bcm11351-a2-pl310-cache": DEPRECATED by "brcm,bcm11351-a2-pl310-cache"
+  "brcm,bcm11351-a2-pl310-cache": For Broadcom bcm11351 chipset where an
+     offset needs to be added to the address before passing down to the L2
+     cache controller
+  "marvell,aurora-system-cache": Marvell Controller designed to be
+     compatible with the ARM one, with system cache mode (meaning
+     maintenance operations on L1 are broadcasted to the L2 and L2
+     performs the same operation).
+  "marvell,aurora-outer-cache": Marvell Controller designed to be
+     compatible with the ARM one with outer cache mode.
+  "marvell,tauros3-cache": Marvell Tauros3 cache controller, compatible
+     with arm,pl310-cache controller.
+- cache-unified : Specifies the cache is a unified cache.
+- cache-level : Should be set to 2 for a level 2 cache.
+- reg : Physical base address and size of cache controller's memory mapped
+  registers.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- arm,data-latency : Cycles of latency for Data RAM accesses. Specifies 3 cells of
+  read, write and setup latencies. Minimum valid values are 1. Controllers
+  without setup latency control should use a value of 0.
+- arm,tag-latency : Cycles of latency for Tag RAM accesses. Specifies 3 cells of
+  read, write and setup latencies. Controllers without setup latency control
+  should use 0. Controllers without separate read and write Tag RAM latency
+  values should only use the first cell.
+- arm,dirty-latency : Cycles of latency for Dirty RAMs. This is a single cell.
+- arm,filter-ranges : <start length> Starting address and length of window to
+  filter. Addresses in the filter window are directed to the M1 port. Other
+  addresses will go to the M0 port.
+- arm,io-coherent : indicates that the system is operating in an hardware
+  I/O coherent mode. Valid only when the arm,pl310-cache compatible
+  string is used.
+- interrupts : 1 combined interrupt.
+- cache-size : specifies the size in bytes of the cache
+- cache-sets : specifies the number of associativity sets of the cache
+- cache-block-size : specifies the size in bytes of a cache block
+- cache-line-size : specifies the size in bytes of a line in the cache,
+  if this is not specified, the line size is assumed to be equal to the
+  cache block size
+- cache-id-part: cache id part number to be used if it is not present
+  on hardware
+- wt-override: If present then L2 is forced to Write through mode
+- arm,double-linefill : Override double linefill enable setting. Enable if
+  non-zero, disable if zero.
+- arm,double-linefill-incr : Override double linefill on INCR read. Enable
+  if non-zero, disable if zero.
+- arm,double-linefill-wrap : Override double linefill on WRAP read. Enable
+  if non-zero, disable if zero.
+- arm,prefetch-drop : Override prefetch drop enable setting. Enable if non-zero,
+  disable if zero.
+- arm,prefetch-offset : Override prefetch offset value. Valid values are
+  0-7, 15, 23, and 31.
+- arm,shared-override : The default behavior of the L220 or PL310 cache
+  controllers with respect to the shareable attribute is to transform "normal
+  memory non-cacheable transactions" into "cacheable no allocate" (for reads)
+  or "write through no write allocate" (for writes).
+  On systems where this may cause DMA buffer corruption, this property must be
+  specified to indicate that such transforms are precluded.
+- arm,parity-enable : enable parity checking on the L2 cache (L220 or PL310).
+- arm,parity-disable : disable parity checking on the L2 cache (L220 or PL310).
+- arm,outer-sync-disable : disable the outer sync operation on the L2 cache.
+  Some core tiles, especially ARM PB11MPCore have a faulty L220 cache that
+  will randomly hang unless outer sync operations are disabled.
+- prefetch-data : Data prefetch. Value: <0> (forcibly disable), <1>
+  (forcibly enable), property absent (retain settings set by firmware)
+- prefetch-instr : Instruction prefetch. Value: <0> (forcibly disable),
+  <1> (forcibly enable), property absent (retain settings set by
+  firmware)
+- arm,dynamic-clock-gating : L2 dynamic clock gating. Value: <0> (forcibly
+  disable), <1> (forcibly enable), property absent (OS specific behavior,
+  preferably retain firmware settings)
+- arm,standby-mode: L2 standby mode enable. Value <0> (forcibly disable),
+  <1> (forcibly enable), property absent (OS specific behavior,
+  preferably retain firmware settings)
+- arm,early-bresp-disable : Disable the CA9 optimization Early BRESP (PL310)
+- arm,full-line-zero-disable : Disable the CA9 optimization Full line of zero
+  write (PL310)
+
+Example:
+
+L2: cache-controller {
+        compatible = "arm,pl310-cache";
+        reg = <0xfff12000 0x1000>;
+        arm,data-latency = <1 1 1>;
+        arm,tag-latency = <2 2 2>;
+        arm,filter-ranges = <0x80000000 0x8000000>;
+        cache-unified;
+        cache-level = <2>;
+	interrupts = <45>;
+};
+
+Note 1: The description in this document doesn't apply to integrated L2
+	cache controllers as found in e.g. Cortex-A15/A7/A57/A53. These
+	integrated L2 controllers are assumed to be all preconfigured by
+	early secure boot code. Thus no need to deal with their configuration
+	in the kernel at all.

+*** Reserved memory regions ***
+
+Reserved memory is specified as a node under the /reserved-memory node.
+The operating system shall exclude reserved memory from normal usage
+one can create child nodes describing particular reserved (excluded from
+normal use) memory regions. Such memory regions are usually designed for
+the special usage by various device drivers.
+
+Parameters for each memory region can be encoded into the device tree
+with the following nodes:
+
+/reserved-memory node
+---------------------
+#address-cells, #size-cells (required) - standard definition
+    - Should use the same values as the root node
+ranges (required) - standard definition
+    - Should be empty
+
+/reserved-memory/ child nodes
+-----------------------------
+Each child of the reserved-memory node specifies one or more regions of
+reserved memory. Each child node may either use a 'reg' property to
+specify a specific range of reserved memory, or a 'size' property with
+optional constraints to request a dynamically allocated block of memory.
+
+Following the generic-names recommended practice, node names should
+reflect the purpose of the node (ie. "framebuffer" or "dma-pool"). Unit
+address (@<address>) should be appended to the name if the node is a
+static allocation.
+
+Properties:
+Requires either a) or b) below.
+a) static allocation
+   reg (required) - standard definition
+b) dynamic allocation
+   size (required) - length based on parent's #size-cells
+                   - Size in bytes of memory to reserve.
+   alignment (optional) - length based on parent's #size-cells
+                        - Address boundary for alignment of allocation.
+   alloc-ranges (optional) - prop-encoded-array (address, length pairs).
+                           - Specifies regions of memory that are
+                             acceptable to allocate from.
+
+If both reg and size are present, then the reg property takes precedence
+and size is ignored.
+
+Additional properties:
+compatible (optional) - standard definition
+    - may contain the following strings:
+        - shared-dma-pool: This indicates a region of memory meant to be
+          used as a shared pool of DMA buffers for a set of devices. It can
+          be used by an operating system to instantiate the necessary pool
+          management subsystem if necessary.
+        - vendor specific string in the form <vendor>,[<device>-]<usage>
+no-map (optional) - empty property
+    - Indicates the operating system must not create a virtual mapping
+      of the region as part of its standard mapping of system memory,
+      nor permit speculative access to it under any circumstances other
+      than under the control of the device driver using the region.
+reusable (optional) - empty property
+    - The operating system can use the memory in this region with the
+      limitation that the device driver(s) owning the region need to be
+      able to reclaim it back. Typically that means that the operating
+      system can use that region to store volatile or cached data that
+      can be otherwise regenerated or migrated elsewhere.
+
+Linux implementation note:
+- If a "linux,cma-default" property is present, then Linux will use the
+  region for the default pool of the contiguous memory allocator.
+
+- If a "linux,dma-default" property is present, then Linux will use the
+  region for the default pool of the consistent DMA allocator.
+
+Device node references to reserved memory
+-----------------------------------------
+Regions in the /reserved-memory node may be referenced by other device
+nodes by adding a memory-region property to the device node.
+
+memory-region (optional) - phandle, specifier pairs to children of /reserved-memory
+
+Example
+-------
+This example defines 3 contiguous regions are defined for Linux kernel:
+one default of all device drivers (named linux,cma@72000000 and 64MiB in size),
+one dedicated to the framebuffer device (named framebuffer@78000000, 8MiB), and
+one for multimedia processing (named multimedia-memory@77000000, 64MiB).

+Linker-Generated Arrays
+=======================
+
+A linker list is constructed by grouping together linker input
+sections, each containing one entry of the list. Each input section
+contains a constant initialized variable which holds the entry's
+content. Linker list input sections are constructed from the list
+and entry names, plus a prefix which allows grouping all lists
+together. Assuming _list and _entry are the list and entry names,
+then the corresponding input section name is
+
+::
+
+  .u_boot_list_ + 2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry
+
+and the C variable name is
+
+::
+
+  _u_boot_list + _2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry
+
+This ensures uniqueness for both input section and C variable name.
+
+Note that the names differ only in the first character, "." for the
+section and "_" for the variable, so that the linker cannot confuse
+section and symbol names. From now on, both names will be referred
+to as
+
+::
+
+  %u_boot_list_ + 2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry
+
+Entry variables need never be referred to directly.
+
+The naming scheme for input sections allows grouping all linker lists
+into a single linker output section and grouping all entries for a
+single list.
+
+Note the two '_2_' constant components in the names: their presence
+allows putting a start and end symbols around a list, by mapping
+these symbols to sections names with components "1" (before) and
+"3" (after) instead of "2" (within).
+Start and end symbols for a list can generally be defined as
+
+::
+
+  %u_boot_list_2_ + @_list + _1_...
+  %u_boot_list_2_ + @_list + _3_...
+
+Start and end symbols for the whole of the linker lists area can be
+defined as
+
+::
+
+  %u_boot_list_1_...
+  %u_boot_list_3_...
+
+Here is an example of the sorted sections which result from a list
+"array" made up of three entries : "first", "second" and "third",
+iterated at least once.
+
+::
+
+  .u_boot_list_2_array_1
+  .u_boot_list_2_array_2_first
+  .u_boot_list_2_array_2_second
+  .u_boot_list_2_array_2_third
+  .u_boot_list_2_array_3
+
+If lists must be divided into sublists (e.g. for iterating only on
+part of a list), one can simply give the list a name of the form
+'outer_2_inner', where 'outer' is the global list name and 'inner'
+is the sub-list name. Iterators for the whole list should use the
+global list name ("outer"); iterators for only a sub-list should use
+the full sub-list name ("outer_2_inner").
+
+Here is an example of the sections generated from a global list
+named "drivers", two sub-lists named "i2c" and "pci", and iterators
+defined for the whole list and each sub-list:
+
+::
+
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_1
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_1
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_first
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_first
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_second
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_third
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_3
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_1
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_first
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_second
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_third
+  %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_3

+    kernel-include
+    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+    Implementation of the ``kernel-include`` reST-directive.
+
+    :copyright:  Copyright (C) 2016  Markus Heiser
+    :license:    GPL Version 2, June 1991 see linux/COPYING for details.
+
+    The ``kernel-include`` reST-directive is a replacement for the ``include``
+    directive. The ``kernel-include`` directive expand environment variables in
+    the path name and allows to include files from arbitrary locations.
+
+    .. hint::
+
+      Including files from arbitrary locations (e.g. from ``/etc``) is a
+      security risk for builders. This is why the ``include`` directive from
+      docutils *prohibit* pathnames pointing to locations *above* the filesystem
+      tree where the reST document with the include directive is placed.
+
+    Substrings of the form $name or ${name} are replaced by the value of
+    environment variable name. Malformed variable names and references to
+    non-existing variables are left unchanged.

+    scalable figure and image handling
+    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+    Sphinx extension which implements scalable image handling.
+
+    :copyright:  Copyright (C) 2016  Markus Heiser
+    :license:    GPL Version 2, June 1991 see Linux/COPYING for details.
+
+    The build for image formats depend on image's source format and output's
+    destination format. This extension implement methods to simplify image
+    handling from the author's POV. Directives like ``kernel-figure`` implement
+    methods *to* always get the best output-format even if some tools are not
+    installed. For more details take a look at ``convert_image(...)`` which is
+    the core of all conversions.
+
+    * ``.. kernel-image``: for image handling / a ``.. image::`` replacement
+
+    * ``.. kernel-figure``: for figure handling / a ``.. figure::`` replacement
+
+    * ``.. kernel-render``: for render markup / a concept to embed *render*
+      markups (or languages). Supported markups (see ``RENDER_MARKUP_EXT``)
+
+      - ``DOT``: render embedded Graphviz's **DOC**
+      - ``SVG``: render embedded Scalable Vector Graphics (**SVG**)

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Convert a C header or source file (C_FILE), into a ReStructured Text
+included via ..parsed-literal block with cross-references for the
+documentation files that describe the API. It accepts an optional
+EXCEPTIONS_FILE with describes what elements will be either ignored or
+be pointed to a non-default reference.
+
+The output is written at the (OUT_FILE).
+
+It is capable of identifying defines, functions, structs, typedefs,
+enums and enum symbols and create cross-references for all of them.
+It is also capable of distinguish #define used for specifying a Linux
+ioctl.
+
+The EXCEPTIONS_FILE contain two rules to allow ignoring a symbol or
+to replace the default references by a custom one.
+
+Please read doc/doc-guide/parse-headers.rst at the Kernel's
+tree for more details.

+    flat-table
+    ~~~~~~~~~~
+
+    Implementation of the ``flat-table`` reST-directive.
+
+    :copyright:  Copyright (C) 2016  Markus Heiser
+    :license:    GPL Version 2, June 1991 see linux/COPYING for details.
+
+    The ``flat-table`` (:py:class:`FlatTable`) is a double-stage list similar to
+    the ``list-table`` with some additional features:
+
+    * *column-span*: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through
+      additional columns
+
+    * *row-span*: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through
+      additional rows
+
+    * *auto span* rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the
+      right side of that table-row.  With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior
+      can changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automaticly inserts
+      (empty) cells instead of spanning the last cell.
+
+    Options:
+
+    * header-rows:   [int] count of header rows
+    * stub-columns:  [int] count of stub columns
+    * widths:        [[int] [int] ... ] widths of columns
+    * fill-cells:    instead of autospann missing cells, insert missing cells
+
+    roles:
+
+    * cspan: [int] additionale columns (*morecols*)
+    * rspan: [int] additionale rows (*morerows*)
