> About calling it orion, it should be mvebu I think.

I guess that's another discussion. All current device drivers, except
Ethernet and I2C are called orion. Orion currently means anything
shared by orion5x, kirkwood, dove, mv78xx0. It seems unlikely we are
going to rename all the device drivers. So calling it mvebu will just
add to the confusion, not reduce the confusion. I personally would
say, anything inside mach-mvebu which is shared by multiple SoCs, can
be prefixed mvebu_. However, anything outside mach-mvebu should remain
orion_.

But that is just my opinion....
