I pulled this branch into v4.21/dt

Applied to v4.21/defconfig

> ARM: dts: meson: group the Cortex-A5 / Cortex-A9 peripherals
> ARM: dts: meson8: add the ARM TWD timer
> ARM: dts: meson8: add the Cortex-A9 global timer
> ARM: dts: meson8b: add the ARM TWD timer
> ARM: dts: meson8b: add the Cortex-A5 global timer

Applied to v4.21/dt
