Subject: [PATCH] ARM: mvebu: Fix the improper use of the compatible string armada38x using a wildcard

Wildcards in compatible strings should be avoid. "marvell,armada38x"
was recently introduced but was not yet used.

The armada 385 SoC is a superset of the armada 380 SoC (with more CPUs
and more PCIe slots). So this patch replaces the use of
"marvell,armada38x" by the "marvell,armada380" string.

Hi,

This fix should be merged in 3.16 and maybe sent as a fix for 3.15
too.

The initial patch (ARM: mvebu: Fix missing binding documentation for
Armada 38x) was re-written after the review about the use of the
wildcards here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1728755/focus=79339 and
there:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/334225/focus=334311


Thanks,
Gregory
