Add specific compatible string for Marvell usage due errata of
accessing 64bit registers of ARM SMMU, in AP806.

AP806 SOC use the generic ARM-MMU500, and there's no specific
implementation of Marvell, this compatible is used for errata only.
Given that, I think something more specific like:

	"marvell,ap806-smmu", "arm,mmu-500";

would be most appropriate. Otherwise, if some future Marvell SoC were to
ever come out with a *different* MMU-500 integration problem, you'd already
have painted yourself into a corner.

Alternatively (or additionally), we could perhaps consider a separate
property like "marvell,32bit-config-access", to mirror the existing handling
of the secure integration bug.
The former please. We have learned our lesson there (though for some 
reason, that was the *only* SMMU problem in Calxeda Midway ;) ).
