ARM: 7822/1: add workaround for ambiguous C99 stdint.h types

7 * The C99 types uintXX_t that are usually defined in 'stdint.h' are not as
8 * unambiguous on ARM as you would expect. For the types below, there is a
9 * difference on ARM between GCC built for bare metal ARM, GCC built for glibc
10 * and the kernel itself, which results in build errors if you try to build with
11 * -ffreestanding and include 'stdint.h' (such as when you include 'arm_neon.h'
12 * in order to use NEON intrinsics)
13 *
14 * As the typedefs for these types in 'stdint.h' are based on builtin defines
15 * supplied by GCC, we can tweak these to align with the kernel's idea of those
16 * types, so 'linux/types.h' and 'stdint.h' can be safely included from the same
17 * source file (provided that -ffreestanding is used).
18 *
19 * int32_t uint32_t uintptr_t
20 * bare metal GCC long unsigned long unsigned int
21 * glibc GCC int unsigned int unsigned int
22 * kernel int unsigned int unsigned long
