Then when this IP will be enabled on Marvell Berlin SoCs, we can extend the "depends on PLAT_ORION" to "depends on PLAT_ORION || ARCH_BERLIN". > But Berlin SoC doesn't have a mbus concept. Currently, we just hack the > mvneta to configure the mbus window. We can simply introduce a separate compatible string, and make the driver behave differently depending on which compatible string was used to probe the device.
