Subject: [PATCH 3.15 078/122] ARM: mvebu: Fix the improper use of the compatible string armada38x using a wildcard

3.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gregory CLEMENT <gregory.clement@...e-electrons.com>

commit 8dbdb8e704db34085f5978c335c10256b0fb9629 upstream.

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.
