Do not attach (thread) your patchsets to some other threads (unrelated
or older versions). This buries them deep in the mailbox and might
interfere with applying entire sets.

That is not MFD device. Google EC is for example, but you have only one
function. I think we will move all of them to some separate ec directory.

Either you make it a schema or drop it.

This paragraph wasn't here before. It's completely redundant, drop.
