Given the name of the SoC (PXA1908) and the fact that you reuse driver
related to PXA, for me these SoC is neither a mvebu nor a berlin SoC. So
just to avoid any misunderstanding, I don't mind being CC and possibly
doing review but I don't plan to take this patch ( I don't think the
berlin maintainer will do it too).

For this kind of issue you can have a look on what we did when
introducing mvebu SoC using ARM64.
