The vendor prefix was renamed from "mrvl" to "marvell". Follow this
change in the dts file.

It seems that the driver was changed without consideration to
backwards compatibility. The driver should still handle both the old
and the new prefix (since we keep this a stable ABI). The old one
should be deprecated but still accepted.

I.e. this is an OK change, but it's fine to hold off as a cleanup
until 3.18. The driver has a regression though, that needs to be fixed
for 3.17.
Hmm, no. The driver never actuall supported that string. It was my bad
when I submitted the original version of pxa2xx.dtsi. Still, given that
it went unnoticed for so long, it can well wait for 3.18.

Thanks,
Daniel
