Now I see that above patch was not merged. But I also see that it does
not change/update "marvell,armada-3720-db" compatible string, so I think
it is not complete for mvebe_armada-37xx/board.c file updating...

So now before 2020.10 release it would be faster and more safe to do

$ sed 's/"globalscale,espressobin"/"marvell,armada-3720-espressobin"/g' -i board/Marvell/mvebu_armada-37xx/board.c

and let synchronization of armada-3720 DTS files with kernel after
U-Boot 2020.10 release.
