Yes I suggested that I merge patches 1-5 on oct 29 and applied the
day after:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-gpio/CACRpkdYshPusdA7bDW2y8H_wp-Fm3N-YCsY1_Qn=dZqRiFy12w@mail.gmail.com/

It's because the bindings are dependent on each other, this one patch has:

+  pinctrl:
+    type: object
+    $ref: /schemas/pinctrl/airoha,en7581-pinctrl.yaml
+    description:
+      Child node definition for EN7581 Pin controller
+
+  pwm:
+    type: object
+    $ref: /schemas/pwm/airoha,en7581-pwm.yaml
+    description:
+      Child node definition for EN7581 PWM controller

Those refs will explode unless the two others are merged at the same
time.

Usually we merge the whole shebang through MFD but this one felt
different because there is no actual MFD driver, just using simple-mfd.

In hindsight I should probs not have been so trigger happy and give
some more time for this to settle... Merge window stress I guess. :/

It's fine to apply textually identical patches to two trees though as
git will sort
that out so technically it's no big deal, you can keep it applied if you
want.
