Why not bump to linux-4.14.22-armada-18.09? Is there any missing functionality 
in that release?

My understanding is that 4.4 is the BSP version that Marvell considers
complete and stable, which has received full QA testing. 4.14 is still
in development, and will be fully ready by the end of the year.
Therefore, in this defconfig using vendor-provided versions of the
components, it probably makes sense to stick to 4.4 for now ?

Best regards,

Thomas

Sounds reasonable to me. The commit log should probably include this 
information.

I've applied the entire series, after updating the commit log of the
last patch to indicate why we stick to Linux 4.4 and not switch to
Marvell provided Linux 4.14, as was requested by Baruch.
