Just to be clear here. The older Marvell platforms Orion and Kirkwood
completely lack DM (Driver-Model) and DT (Device-Tree) support in
U-Boot. This needs to be added (similar to what I've done to the
newer parts beginning with Armada XP / 38x) so that the SPI driver
(and others) can be used as DM-enabled driver.

Please see arch/arm/mach-mvebu/ for more details here.

Any work on this is greatly appreciated as I fear that the support
for these older SoC's might get dropped completely otherwise soon.

Thanks,
Stefan
