cover ARM: Marvell Armada XP datasheet publicly available

Hello,

This series of two patches make a few updates to the README file of the kernel documentation related to Marvell ARM platforms in the kernel.

The most important announcement is the public release by Marvell of the datasheet for the Armada XP SoC. It follows the publication, a few weeks ago, of the Armada 370 datasheet.

The second patch makes a few other updates to the same documentation, taking into account recent movements in the support for Marvell SoCs in the kernel.

The series is based on top of Jason's mvebu/soc branch.

Thanks,

Thomas

PATCH 1/2 Documentation: arm: add URLs to public datasheets for the Marvell Armada XP SoC

Marvell has very recently released a public version of the "Functional specifications" and "Hardware specifications" datasheets for the Marvell Armada XP SoC. This allows contributors and developers not under NDA with Marvell to get more details about this SoC than what the current kernel code shows, and hopefully allows to improve the support for this SoC in the mainline kernel, as well as in other projects.

Again, great work and a very good read indeed!

PATCH 2/2 Documentation: arm: misc updates to Marvell EBU SoC status

In reply to Thomas Petazzoni

Following the merging of mach-kirkwood into mach-mvebu, the removal of mach-kirkwood, and the progress of the integration of mach-dove into mach-mvebu, this commit makes a few updates to the Marvell README file in the kernel documentation.
