Hi Richard,

Thanks for the link, as the terms only talk about materials obtained
from www.marvell.com this one from wufoo.com should be exempt ;)
Also at a glance looks like the complete one. Also says "Functional
Specifications – Unrestricted". Maybe you want to re-download it.

Regardless, as you said the blinking registers are all described. So
it's probably safe to assume 39x will have them as well.

Gregory,

Knowing it's not limited to 370/XP makes "marvell,armada-370-gpio" an
obviously better choice for the compatible string. Guess you didn't
mean to drop the "-gpio" suffix.

Will work on a patch changing the compatible string / documentation for
4.12 and an updated patch for armada 370/XP dtsi as well as a patch
adding the properties to 38x for 4.13+. Expect them tomorrow, probably
won't get around to it today anymore.

Ralph
