The wip/teres-i branch is now reduced even further - and verified that 
it works also from cold boot.  It consists of a device-tree file copied 
verbatim from Linux 5.0 and ~70 lines of new code - all of it specific 
to Teres-I (no patching of shared code like earlier).

Thanks a lot to Vasily Khoruzhick a.k.a. anarsoul for passing draft code 
on irc and guiding me in debugging it until it worked.

Please consider adopting into u-boot.

When Vasily gets online again I will try push to get it mainlined.
