Just a stupid note: With Thomas ongoing work to get mvebu-pcie driver in
place and enabled for kirkwood, some boards setup files will also lose
their pcie init routines, which may allow you to kill those additonal
files soon.

For instance 6bd98481ab34 (arm: kirkwood: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo v2 init
PCIe via DT) currently sitting in jcooper/mvebu/pcie_kirkwood removes
the PCIE init routine in board-readynas.c, and yours remove ge00
init. With both applied, the whole file can go away.

AFAICT, this may be the case soon for:

 arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/board-iconnect.c   (36e5722089)
 arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/board-mplcec4.c    (9470fbfb8d)
 arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/board-nsa310.c     (40fa8e5da2)
 arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/board-readynas.c   (6bd98481ab)
 arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/board-ts219.c      (259e234608)

Anyway, thanks for this work Sebastian.

Cheers,

a+
