This seems a reasonable compromise. The PCI card the router comes
with isn't supported by mwl8k mainline anyway (There's STA-only
firmware that can be extracted from a windows driver and PCI IDs
added, but stats reporting uses a different format), so it's not a
huge loss, although many did replace the card with something
Atheros-based.

O.K. So dropping the PCI code gets us going forward.

Is an arch/arm/mach-mvebu/orion5x.c also required? Or is continuing to use arch/arm/mach-orion5x/board-dt.c until everything has been converted the favoured approach?

Have we missed the merge window?

I got the impression Gregory Clement had merged them? If not a good portion of this patchset is uncontroversial generic orion5x stuff, it'd be nice to get those in even if none of the router-specific stuff doesn't make it.

Unfortunately the power regulator on my spare router has stopped
regulating, which will make more development tricky.

The Green Light of death?

Seems that way, the 3.3v line is only getting up to 2.8v. My routers have had their power supply sections hacked in comparison to photos I've seen on GLOD pages, so I presumed this was fixed. Apparently not. Maybe I can persuade it to be useful with 5v + 3.3v in the right places.

Definitely uses GPIO 4.

O.K, that makes it more interesting. As far as i can see, no other
PCIe system uses a GPIO for its interrupt. There is no core support
for this, or any bus driver doing it. So there is no binding to
follow.

Not sure if the difference is relevant at this point but it's regular PCI, not PCIe.
