If Marvell did something in their 2 years old unmaintained fork it does
not mean that upstream U-Boot must copy+paste whole Marvell code
including suspicious whitespace changes if there is no good reason for
it.

And in my opinion, if we know that eMMC espressobin versions are rare
and DTS file for non-eMMC version is compatible with eMMC espressobin
HW, I do not see reason why not to have DTS file for non-eMMC version
chosen by default. It would really simplify compilation and setup for
most of people. And also it would simplify bisecting git repository for
other Espressobin developers in case of some U-boot failure.
