As it is today, none of the contents of armada-370-xp.h are useful for Armada 370. However, the "main" file is also named armada-370-xp.c and handles both SoC, so it made sense to have a file named armada-370-xp.h as well. That said, I'm fine with moving the Armada XP SMP specific bits in a armada-xp.h, file included in armada-370-xp.c. For now, we wouldn't need a armada-370.h file or even an armada-370-xp.h file. The upcoming SOCs will not be handled in armada-370-xp.c, due to quite important differences in these SOCs compared to 370/XP. Thanks for the feedback!
