Hi Pali,

Works great! I've tested this patch using dumpimage for the following boards:

HP Thin Client T5335z
Marvell Dove board: RD-88AP510-Avengers
SoC:   88AP510 (A1)
1Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM

Dell Kace M300
Marvell Kirkwood board: DB-88F6282A-BP LE
SoC: Armada 300 ( aka 88F6282)
2GHz CPU, 2GB RAM

Thanks!
