Lowest number (and probably oldest too but not sure since mediatek 
naming conventions are a bit weird) currently documented is mt6779, but 
mt6765 gets documented in this patch and mt6735 (this one I know for 
sure is older than the rest) in a following patch, so do I just stick 
with mt6779 or do I change it in the following patches documenting 
mt6765 and mt6735?

Thanks,
Yassine
