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.

Hi Linus,

As Richard already correctly pointed out this needs to go into 4.12 as
we can't really change the compatible string after 4.12 final was
released. So this commit was pushed to the wrong branch. Sorry for
not having been more explicit in my wording.

Thanks
Ralph
