I am generally OK with that, at least once Navid's patches 1-6 passed review.

I think it is better to keep it ad "Odd fixes" as it is a hobby project to both 
myself and Navid. I don't know where the dividing line between "Maintained" 
and "Odd Fixes" is when it comes to SoCs ( yes I read https://docs.kernel.org/
process/maintainers.html ). I guess once we have a third developer and/or an 
openwrt userbase I'd feel better elevating that.

This should go into or near the patches that add the files in question. ( I 
took that reading from https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mediatek/
2df4cad5e29fbcb4c5c5f59ea0bf322c7a301bdc.camel at gmail.com in particular. 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mediatek/20260506-honest-cyan-cow-d6c5b0@quoll/ 
suggests that too ). But yes, that can also cause annoying merge conflicts when 
PR'ing patches to their respective trees.
