I found this snippet in Kconfig for the Chromecast:

config ARCH_MV88DE3100_BG2
        bool "BG2 family"
        help
          Support for Marvell BG2 processors, based on the Marvell
          PJ4B CPU and the Marvell TAUROS3 L2 cache controller, or
          the ARM CortexA9 CPU and the ARM PL310 L2 cache controller

config ARCH_MV88DE3100_BG3
        bool "BG3 family"
        help
          Support for Marvell BG3 processors, based on the ARM
          CortexA9MP CPU and the ARM PL310 L2 cache controller


A9 will always work when CPU_V7 is set, it doesn't have a Kconfig option.
When CPU_PJ4 is set, it will work on both. Regarding the other options,
this is what I found from the defconfigs in chromecast:

Evidently, the only defconfig that is for Cortex-A9 is eureka_mv88de30xx_defconfig,
which is used on the Chromecast and has version MV88DE3100_BG2_CD (presumably
renamed to product number de3005). LOCAL_TIMER is used exactly on those that have
SMP support here, which makes sense.
