Where do you see that in mainline? Not in drivers/clk/pxa/ at least. I'm
certain the acorn-marvell tree has a PXA1908 clk driver somewhere, too,
I just haven't ported it yet.

Do you personally have one? I didn't spot a pxa1928 DT in mainline.

So, by my reading both 8250_of.c and 8250_pxa.c list "mrvl,mmp-uart" for
the platform driver. Is that really intentional?

What the early_pxa earlycon does is set the register shift and then
reuse the 8250 core - that looks perfectly valid to me. Are you possibly
mixing that up with the non-8250 pxa serial driver that I am already
suppressing one patch earlier?

While at it, are you aware that we have two drivers, one pxa and one
mmp, that bind to "marvell,pdma-1.0"? That seemed wrong to me, too.

Regards,
Andreas
