Below are my testing result w/t Bintian's patches and Hisilicon old
bootloader:
- Need add property "hisi,boardid" into dts;
- Need change cpu enable-method from "psci" to "spin-table";
- The bootloader has not initialized register *cntfrq_el0* so will
  introduce the failure during init arch timer.

For init cntfrq_el0, we need fix this issue in Hisilicon's old
bootloader, rather than directly add "clock-frequency" for arch
timer's node in DTS. i will try to commit one patch for fix this
issue for Hisilicon's old bootloader.

So i think upper issues mainly are introduced by Hisilicon's old
bootloader but not come from Bintian's patches. How about u think for
this?

Below is my local diff which is used to compatible w/t Hisilicon's
old bootloader; Just for your reference.

Thanks,
Leo Yan
