It is best to keep what we don't understand. It will be there for a
reason.

Hello! I tried to index all publicly available Marvell SoC
documentations into kernel documentation subfolder:
https://docs.kernel.org/arm/marvell.html

For Orion there is linked Datasheet and User Manual, so you could try to
find in those documents that mentioned register and check what it is
doing.

MPP_DEV_CTRL refers to register at address 0x10008. According to the 88F5152 user manual it's
'Device Multiplex Control Register' Offset: 0x10008.

Bits Field Type/InitVal Description
[31:0] Reserved RES 0x03FF0000 Reserved. NOTE: Must be 0x03FF0000'.

DEV_D[31:16] receives no hits in the documentation, only to DEV_D[15:0] are referred.

Maybe 88F5151 is different, hard to say.
