The 'orion' platform is the predecessor to what linux now calls the
'mvebu' line of Marvell SoCs, and originally covered orion5x,
mv78xx0, kirkwood, dove and a few others that do not have any
upstream support at the moment.

Only a few board files remain here, these are the ones left
in 2022 board file purge because they had some level of support
in Debian or OpenWRT, mostly for commercial NAS or router boxes.
This distro support is now gone, and nobody has converted the
board files to devicetree, though the orion5x and dove platforms
also come with devicetree support for some other machines.
