This is too early for changes, which are not reviewed by Linux watchdog masters.

As I emphasized multiple times in our discussions your series is organized
improperly, it has interdependencies between DTS and driver, it lacks
atomicity feature of a proper fix, in the middle it breaks backward compatibility
with old DTB, all that makes it impossible to send an atomic fix for linux-stable,
some of the changes are captured from mine ones without preserving the authorship
or even a reported-by credit.
