Nice!

Technically speaking, the Armada 1500 is not designed by the EBU
division of Marvell (that does the Orion, Kirkwood, Armada 370/XP SOCs),
so having it under mach-mvebu may sound a little bit strange. However,
I don't yet have a clear vision of how much different the platform code
will be, especially since the platform code tends to get smaller and
smaller due to the move of lots of code to drivers/.

Best regards,

Thomas
