See also Dmitry's reply[0] to the PSCI thread. (Maybe I should have sent
both conversions as one series?)

I am happy with the patches going through any tree. The kernel/reboot.c
patch is exactly the same between the two series, so it should not hurt
if it gets merged twice. Though if you take this series through the
RISC-V tree, maybe you want to create a tag for it?

I am not sure exactly what needs to be done here; I am happy to do
anything that would assist getting both series merged for v6.3, to avoid
a regression with axp20x[1].

Regards,
Samuel
