Hello all,

I have noticed that in the latest stable (3.8) kernels, support for NSA 310
(Marwell based NAS) has been added.

I tried to boot a kernel with Marwell DT and NSA310 enabled and it can't boot up
with strange error:

Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.

Particularly, I dont understand the ID code - it really does not look right.
This is vanilla 3.8.3. Is there an ARM-dedicated git branch I should rather use
for early support for NSA310?

Here is my full kernel config:

I hope this is the right mailing list to ask, I apologize otherwise.
