I've just booted this on my mcbin-ss, and I get:

mvpp2 f2000000.ethernet: CM3 firmware not running, version should be higher than 18.09
mvpp2 f4000000.ethernet: CM3 firmware not running, version should be higher than 18.09

which is rather odd, because I believe I'm running the 18.12 firmware
from git://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/binaries-marvell
branch binaries-marvell-armada-18.12.

Any ideas?
