Alphabetical order would be nice.

That file doesn't exist in the upstream kernel. Are you sending this for
inclusion in the RPi Foundation's kernel, or the upstream kernel?

It'd help if you CC'd whoever you want to apply this. If this is a patch
for upstream, you'd also want to CC some mailing lists with wider
distribution, such as the ARM kernel mailing list.

I assume this is a patch for the RPi Foundation's kernel given the DT
name above, and the __overrides__ node at the end, so I won't review the
balance of the patch.
