Given that, I think something more specific like:

	"marvell,ap806-smmu", "arm,mmu-500";

would be most appropriate. Otherwise, if some future Marvell SoC were to 
ever come out with a *different* MMU-500 integration problem, you'd 
already have painted yourself into a corner.

Alternatively (or additionally), we could perhaps consider a separate 
property like "marvell,32bit-config-access", to mirror the existing 
handling of the secure integration bug.

Robin.
