Subject: ARM: mvebu: Fix the improper use of the compatible string armada38x using a wildcard
From: Gregory CLEMENT <gregory.clement@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8dbdb8e704db34085f5978c335c10256b0fb9629 upstream.
Wildcards in compatible strings should be avoid. "marvell,armada38x"
was recently introduced but was not yet used.
The armada 385 SoC is a superset of the armada 380 SoC (with more CPUs
and more PCIe slots). So this patch replaces the use of
"marvell,armada38x" by the "marvell,armada380" string.
