It is an evolution of the combination of [1] and [2].
The DT bits look fine to me. How do you expect this to be merged? I'm happy to take it if arch maintainers can ack it.

Looks like patch 5 doesn't have any dependencies with the series?

I thought this should be applied for 5.14?

This one can be applied on its own, right?
