My suggestion is: mach-mrvl-ebu or plat-mrvl-ebu Rational: any marketing name is going to be unsuitable for structuring common code in the kernel, especially as Marvell has a tendency to reuse the same marketing name for different things, as well as different names for similar things. One thing that is common to Orion/Kirkwood/Dove/(insert some Armada flavours here)/etc though is that they came out of Marvell's EBU division. Nicolas
