ARM: SAMSUNG: Add initial documentation directory and overview 



Start Documentation/arm/Samsung and add an initial overview file
which whilst is not complete, is better than nothing.

		Samsung ARM Linux Overview

		==========================



Introduction

------------



  The Samsung range of ARM SoCs spans many similar devices, from the initial

  ARM9 through to the newest ARM cores. This document shows an overview of

  the current kernel support, how to use it and where to find the code

  that supports this.



  The currently supported SoCs are:



  - S3C24XX: See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for full list

  - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410

  - S5PC6440



  S5PC100 and S5PC110 support is currently being merged





S3C24XX Systems

---------------



  There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which

  deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices.



  See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for more information

  on the implementation details and specific support.





Configuration

-------------



  A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of

  unifying all the SoCs into one kernel.



  s5p6440_defconfig - S5P6440 specific default configuration

  s5pc100_defconfig - S5PC100 specific default configuration





Layout

------



  The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of

  several platform directories and then the machine specific directories

  of the CPUs being built for.



  plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the

  last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build

  specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions

  to get the system running.



  plat-s3c is the s3c24xx/s3c64xx platform directory, although it is currently

  involved in other builds this will be phased out once the relevant code is

  moved elsewhere.



  plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs.



  plat-s3c64xx is for the s3c64xx specific bits, see the S3C24XX docs.



  plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, more to be added.
