Commit log already mentions these are Marvell specific acronyms. I did not
add explanation for each of them as this would make the message too long.

Upper case is desired but not really mandatory. This was a suggestion put

https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20210830135231.2610152-1-asekhar@marvell.com/
I can abandon this change if you feel it is not appropriate to put many
device specific acronyms in the top level word list.
