I am not sure the pinmux is the only difference. Read on below.

Please, one empty new line between the last property (compatible) and
the "soc" node.

So, the 380 and 385 have two SATA ports, presumably ports 0 and 1.
According to the Functional Specifications, section 3.1 (Internal
Address map), those two ports are located at 0xA8000. Ports 2 and 3,
which are only available on Armada 388, are located at 0xE0100 and
0xE0180 according to the same datasheet. So I believe that the node:

			sata at a8000 {
				compatible = "marvell,armada-380-ahci";
				reg = <0xa8000 0x2000>;
				interrupts = <GIC_SPI 26 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
				clocks = <&gateclk 15>;
				status = "disabled";
			};

should stay where it is in armada-38x.dtsi.

However, the node:

			sata at e0000 {
				compatible = "marvell,armada-380-ahci";
				reg = <0xe0000 0x2000>;
				interrupts = <GIC_SPI 28 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
				clocks = <&gateclk 30>;
				status = "disabled";
			};

should probably move into armada-388.dtsi, since it covers ports 2 and
3.

In addition, I believe that the existing armada-385-db.dts and
armada-385-rd.dts should be renamed to armada-388-db.dts and
armada-388-rd.dts, and they should include armada-388.dtsi instead. At
least it's sure for the DB (which has both SATA controllers enabled).
For the RD, it remains to be confirmed, but in general most Marvell
development platforms use the superset SoC, which has all the
functionalities.

Thanks,

Thomas
