docs: arm: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst Converts ARM the text files to ReST, preparing them to be an architecture book. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

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 Systems
---------------
There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which
deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices.

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.

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-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs.
ARM: SAMSUNG: Documentation: update directory layout Update the directory layout in Documentation/arm/Samsung/Overview.txt to reflect the changes that have been made in the latest kernel updates. Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org>

plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, and contains common support for the
S5P specific systems. Not all S5Ps use all the features in this directory
due to differences in the hardware.
Layout changes
--------------
The old plat-s3c and plat-s5pc1xx directories have been removed, with
support moved to either plat-samsung or plat-s5p as necessary. These moves
where to simplify the include and dependency issues involved with having
so many different platform directories.
