As it turns out more than just Armada 370 and XP support using GPIO
lines as PWM lines. For example the Armada 38x family has the same
hardware support. As such "marvell,armada-370-xp-gpio" for the
compatible string is a misnomer.

Change the compatible string to "marvell,armada-370-gpio" before the
driver makes it out of the -rc stage. This also follows the practice of
using only the first device family supported as part of the name.

Also update the documentation and comments in the code accordingly.

Fixes: 757642f9a584 ("gpio: mvebu: Add limited PWM support")

Patch applied for next with the tags.
You mean for fixes right ?
The goal was to correct "marvell,armada-370-xp-gpio" before 4.12 is out.
