I was not sure how the naming of the driver was chosen. I thought it was
ment to describe the SoCs IP-Core. But as mv64xxx is the SoCs prefix, I
totaly agree naming it orion. It actually would even be better to give
the driver the read IP-Core name.

The register offsets are in mv643xx.h. The mach/dove-regs.h is
only needed to be able to use dove_memory_find. See patch:
[Patch 1/3] ARM: mvebu: make dove_memory_find reachable for drivers

That is a good idea. Will do that.

Will do that.

It would be nice to see if it is also working if barebox running as
first stage bootloader. Can you try to get the UART-Image [1] via xmodem
transfer running?

[1] images/barebox-solidrun-cubox-uart.img

Thanks,
