Splitting would be nice, but I'm not sure it's really doable... besides,
there's only one way to get this right: testing on older platforms!

Even just one done manually, like MT8173, would be fine - the others can be
tested in KernelCI as we do have many MTK SoCs in the lab.
Then it's just about following the review process and adding the suggested
changes - nothing in particular.

Besides, I'm sorry for the very (maybe too much!) "strong" reply :-)

Cheers,
Angelo
