Sascha,

I was under the impression that you resent the patches because you have
a CuBox you want to get supported. Anyway, I will not get back to
u-boot Dove support anytime soon. It just takes to long to get any
valuable review/ack from Marvell maintainer.

Naming was the main discussion of this patch set back then, there have
been some "???" on the mpp stuff. I suggested  several times not to use
"mv" as I knew that Marvell PXA also uses "mv" as prefix all over.

The PXA SPI controller is based on different IP. Unfortunately PXA
naming is not consitent over SoCs, Dove is also nick-named PXA510
sometimes.

Actually, we are merging Orion SoCs and Armada 370/XP to mach-mvebu -
so the best name would be mvebu_spi as the spi controller is also in
Armada 370/XP.

But Prafulla is u-boot Marvell maintainer, he said to use mv prefix -
not my call anymore.

Uhm, did you forget to send code?

I will not likely get back to Dove support on u-boot. I cannot really
re-test on Kirkwood and it just takes to long to get feedback.
I suggest to remove my Signed-off-by and especially the MAINTAINERS
entry.
