Stefan, did you want me to send a patch for db88f6820-gp at the same

Sure, that would be helpful.

But I'm a little bit puzzled about this DM conversion for MVEBU
platforms. As all MVEBU targets are already using DM and DM_SPI:

arch/arm/Kconfig:

...
config ARCH_MVEBU
           bool "Marvell MVEBU family (Armada XP/375/38x/3700/7K/8K)"
           select OF_CONTROL
           select OF_SEPARATE
           select DM
           select DM_ETH
           select DM_SERIAL
           select DM_SPI
           select DM_SPI_FLASH

So there should be no need to change something here. Or is something
not working correctly on some of the MVEBU platforms?

What really is missing is the conversion of the older Marvell
platforms, like Kirkwood and Orion. Those are quite ancient and
have no DM / OF / DT support at all (AFAIR). So here is the real
work that needs to be done. Or all those boards might get dropped
soon.

Yeah sure enough

=> dm tree

   usb        [   ]   ehci_mvebu          |-- usb@58000
   eth        [ + ]   mvneta              `-- ethernet@70000

So nothing to do for MVEBU.

Yep, thats what I thought.

I do have a passing interest in keeping kirkwood support but lack an
upstream supported platform to use. I'll have to see if I can update one of
our boards to use and upstream bootloader.

Yes, that would be good. As I fear, that Kirkwood might get dropped
completely, if nobody reacts here and updates this platform to DM,
DT etc.

Thanks,
Stefan
