These patches are not required, so please omit them entirely.
The new agreement [1] is to add SoC-specific compatible strings and also
declare the nodes as compatibles with the already supported SoC,
whenever appropriate.

For instance, the devicetrees for Armada 375 would have this mbus node:

  mbus {
    compatible = "marvell,armada375-mbus", "marvell,armada370-mbus"
  }

And therefore, we don't need any changes in the driver for now.
