Most Orion flavours don't.  And the one that does is not supported in 
mainline (most probably because hardware is not widely 
available/interesting).

Given that Kirkwood is the first (and perhaps the only one) SOC to make 
use of this in mainline Linux, I think it is less confusing to name it 
"kirkwood".  That won't prevent the Orion90L from using Kirkwood I2S if 
that ever happens.
