Yep, sounds good.

I took a cursory glance at the patchset and it looks sane to me. I didn't
review in detail though.

One open question: Why don't you just add this to mach-mvebu? I thought
all modern Marvell platforms were going to converge on that eventually
anyway, and it's easy to add it now that it's early and simple..

Also, see below:

We have had a long-standing standard of naming the dts files
<family>-<board>.dts (or <soc_vendor>-<board>.dts).  Let's continue
sticking to that since it helps keep the namespace somewhat segmented per
platform in arch/arm/boot/dts.
