Hi Tim

This keeps coming up, so i plan on submitting a patch. I thought it
would be obvious. The driver supports over 20 Marvell switches, yet
only has two compatible strings. It is not too big a leap to figure
out they must all be compatible, or there would be 20 compatible
strings....

I recommend following what the label on the housing says. If you don't
have a housing, just a board, follow the silk screen, and hope the
designer of the housing also follows the silk screen.
