Actually, just prepared those patches today. Haven't boot tested but
compiles cleanly. The patch set will be really small compared to KW
patch set (but de-hardcoded pinctrl-dove will be a prerequisite).

I also prefer to move to mach-mvebu/dove.c and then merge with
armada-3{78}{05x} a cycle later.
