Marvell 8686 GSPI firmware

I've noticed a couple of people mentioning lack of GSPI firmware for
Marvell devices.

I found the following link:
http://www.programsalon.com/downloads76/sourcecode/embed/detail284837.html

which seems to be a WinCE Marvell driver for the 8686, written for the
PXA270 and using SPI over SSP (specifically Intel's Bulverde dev
platform).  It also includes the standard Marvell .h files for the
8385 and 8686 in  GSPI mode.

The code itself is a mess, but the fw files may come in handy, as well
as the overall procedure for downloading fw to the chip, which differs
slightly from the procedure mentioned in section 2.2.1.3 of the
Marvell spec.

I don't read Chinese, but the site seems to indicate that you can
download if you earn credits by uploading other source code.  I have
uploaded a few of my own things and downloaded the complete RAR of
this driver.

Cheers, all.
