I must confess your problem is interesting ;-)

I did a diff between your .config and mine for the Duo v2 and then tried
to enable/disable the most promising options you had and the one I had
not but I cannot reproduce the what you get, i.e. marvell_cesa module
always loads as expectec. 

So, I also think the best path would be to use my Duo v2 file w/ your dtb
and run it on your device.

Last (unrelated) remark/question: looking at the .dts for your ts219, I
noticed one thing I am curious about:

        memory {
                device_type = "memory";
                reg = <0x00000000 0x20000000>;
        };

        ...

        ocp at f1000000 {
                pinctrl: pin-controller at 10000 {

                        pinctrl-0 = <&pmx_ram_size &pmx_board_id>;
                        pinctrl-names = "default";

                        pmx_ram_size: pmx-ram-size {
                                /* RAM: 0: 256 MB, 1: 512 MB */
                                marvell,pins = "mpp36";
                                marvell,function = "gpio";
                        };

It seems 512MB are declared for all TS219 devices but the level
available on mpp36 provides the real amount of RAM in the device.
Who/What is expected to do the adjustment on platform w/ only 256MB, if
any?

Cheers,
