Armada 7020 support got upstreamed. In master branch, PR124 it is named as patch/0001-Marvell-support-for-armada7020-on-LK4.9.189.patch, as it had changes with respect to version migration.

Im also thinking how to maintain it, as it would break future kernel version migration. One way is to avoid patching it, except based on dependent version and platform.
