I already replied meaning of these parameters:
<marvell,2ghz> is used to disable 2g band.
<marvell,5ghz> is used to disable 5g band.
<marvell, chainmask> is used to specify antenna number (if default number is suitable for you, there is no need to use this parameter).
<marvell,powertable> should not be used for chip with device power table. In fact, this parameter should not be used any more.

Thanks,
David
