Since we are still very early in the support of Marvell Armada 7/8K chips and those chips are significantly different from earlier 32 bits Armada SOCs, it is difficult to commit to Device Tree ABI stability at this point. Therefore, this commit adds a warning to the Marvell 7K/8K DT binding documentation to indicate that the bindings are for the moment unstable.
