MMP SUPPORT
R:      Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@...sk>
L:      linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org (moderated for non-subscribers)
S:      Odd Fixes
T:      git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lkundrak/linux-mmp.git
F:      arch/arm/boot/dts/marvell/mmp*
F:      arch/arm/mach-mmp/
F:      include/linux/soc/mmp/

it excludes these MMP files.
