Clearly ARCH_MVEBU v7 cannot. What i need to determine is if
ARCH_KIRKWOOD and ARCH_MVEBU v5 will go into one binary. I _think_ the
answer is no, but i need to take a closer look.
What i suspect we will end up doing it dropping the last patch for the
moment and ensuring ARCH_KIRKWOOD still supports all the DT machines.
I think that just needs care with arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile.
Once we have the last four converted over to DT, you can then do a
straight swap, mach-kirkwood for mach-mvebu.
I will get back to you in a couple of days once i have this all
figured out.
