Hi Jason

I did wounder about this a bit. I've not looked, but now that XP
datasheets are public, i assume there is an errata for this, so it at
least should be documented by Marvell. But anybody looking in
/proc/device-tree on an A0 is going to see this undocumented string
which might raise questions.

So i'm happy to document it at the end of the binding.

Arnd, what do you say?
