Not sure why, but as of today, we have a mix of "mrvl" and "marvell" in
the tree, and "marvell" is the one official listed in
vendor-prefixes.txt.

I don't have an opinion on this because I'm not familiar with this
family of Marvell SoCs. However, the only thing I would recommend is
that you send a patch to update Documentation/arm/Marvell/README to
document this PXA1908/IAP140 thing. This is particularly important
since this document mentions PXA1908 already.

Thanks!
