Hi Thomas

It is great to see that Marvell have released the document. Also the
success with getting the new SoCs into mainline so fast has been
really good. Lets hope device manufactures take the hint and use
mainline, not some hacked up branch.

As to shared peripherals between 370 and XP, could you make a quick
list of where they are different? The thermal sensor is one, if i
remember correctly, but that already has a driver. The list does not
need to be too detailed, it could be just "compatible/different" for
each peripheral. It is just enough to stop somebody bashing there head
against a brick wall because the registers are different and they
don't know it.

Thanks
	Andrew
