This reverts commit 40acc05271abc2852c32622edbebd75698736b9b. marvell,prestera.txt is an old file describing the old Alleycat3 standalone switches. The commit mentioned above actually hacked these bindings to add support for a device tree property for a more modern version of the IP connected over PCI, using only the generic compatible in order to retrieve the device node from the prestera driver to read one static property. The problematic property discussed here is "base-mac-provider". The original intent was to point to a nvmem device which could produce the relevant nvmem-cell. This property has never been acked by DT maintainers and fails all the layering that has been brought with the nvmem bindings by pointing at a nvmem producer, bypassing the existing nvmem bindings, rather than a nvmem cell directly. Furthermore, the property cannot even be used upstream because it expected the ONIE tlv driver to produce a specific cell, driver which used nacked bindings and thus was never merged, replaced by a more integrated concept: the nvmem-layout. So let's forget about this temporary addition, safely avoiding the need for any backward compatibility handling. A new (yaml) binding file will be brought with the prestera bindings, and there we will actually include a description of the modern IP over PCI, including the right way to point to a nvmem cell.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
