Support for all BCM2837-based Raspberry Pi variants, such as
the RPi 3 model B, in AArch64 (64-bit) mode.
This option assumes the VideoCore firmware is configured to use the
mini UART (rather than PL011) for the serial console. This is the
default on the RPi 3. To enable the UART console, the following non-

At the time of writing, the VC FW requires a non-default option in
config.txt to request the ARM CPU boot in 64-bit mode:
arm_control=0x200
The VC FW typically provides ARM "stub" code to set up the CPU and
quiesce secondary SMP CPUs. This is not currently true in 64-bit
mode. In order to boot U-Boot before the VC FW is enhanced, please
see the commit description for the commit which added RPi3 support
for a workaround. Since the instructions are temporary, they are not
duplicated here. The VC FW enhancement is tracked in
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/579.
