You should use better commit logs here. There's no way to get what each
patch actually does from only looking at those lines.

You should probably have something like:
  misc: Add Freescale mxs On Chip OTP driver
  ARM: mxs: dt: Enable the OTP in the DTSI
  ...

This has two advantages: the review is easier since the reviewer
actually knows what each patch is doing and what to review, and most of
all, you get a cleaner and more complete history, so that in a few
month/years, you can get (ideally) all the context of this patch and
what it's actually doing without having to look into the code.
