I think these moved files will now match:

ARM/Marvell Kirkwood and Armada 370, 375, 38x, 39x, XP, 3700, 7K/8K, CN9130 SOC support
M:      Andrew Lunn <andrew at lunn.ch>
M:      Gregory Clement <gregory.clement at bootlin.com>
M:      Sebastian Hesselbarth <sebastian.hesselbarth at gmail.com>
L:      linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org (moderated for non-subscribers)
S:      Maintained
T:      git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gclement/mvebu.git
F:      Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/marvell/

But these files are not Gregory or my problem.

If they were orphaned before, i would prefer they are either orphaned
after the move, or associated to the correct maintainer. Being
associated to the wrong maintainers is worse than having no
maintainers at all.
