In this case, we have wildly different names referring to the same chip family, and "orion" is far from hinting that it also constitute the support for Kirkwood, Dove or (some not all) Armadas, unless you are familiar with some legacy Marvell products. This is why in this case I think that a directory name change might be appropriate, especially if we're going to cause churn by moving things around already. I agree that mrvl_ebu_* is not pretty. This could be mv_ebu_* or mvebu_*. Unless someone has another logical identifier to suggest which would capture all that family of SOCs that came out of EBU in Marvell of course. Since this is code not marketing, we don't have to have something flashy either, as long as it doesn't create more confusion than "orion" does. The various Kconfig help texts are good places to put all the marketing names du jour.
mvebu sounds reasonable to me, it's definitely unique and it's almost a word ;-) Arnd
