I have no clue, what combination it really is. Unfortunately,
Marvell didn't release any open datasheets, of course.

I can only look at GPL'd Asus Cube kernel, I used for getting an idea
of what was required for initial support and reg offsets, irqs and
friends. They bring up twd as localtimer. Also, grep'ing the Cube
kernel sources in mach-mv88de3100 gives hits for CONFIG_PJ4 (note the
missing B), l2x0, smp_twd, apb_timer.

No hits for pl310, A9.
