Sure, that is also what the vendor kernel called it. I will rename it
to arch/arm/mach-goldengate in v2.

Should the Kconfig symbol follow as ARCH_GOLDENGATE, or is
ARCH_CORTINA_CS75XX fine? I would keep the "cortina," compatible
prefix and the arch/arm/boot/dts/cortina directory as they are.

Agreed, I will leave it as is.

Thanks for the reviews,
