This is where the device support becomes confusing.

I would strongly advise on using "mrvl,mv78230" as the binding
name. It isn't as if you can't have multiple names associated
with one binding.

The name here should uniquely identify the board, not the chip. If you
additionally want to have the chip name, then that should be after the
board name. However, "marvell,armada" is too generic to be useful.

marvell is the documented vendor string, not mrvl.

I could swear I read it as mrvl in the documentation for device-tree

quoted

Also, given how close they are, do we really need separate machine
support files?

There does need to be justification why they need to be separate.

I'd say for the "core" support that they could all be handled by this
case catching the "marvell,mv...." and initialising all the core bits
such as timer, io, irq, etc.

Since the two board support files are identical, except for the names
they print, I'd say this is the job of one file. It can always be split
later.
