Unfortunately that's not entirely possible because you need at least one
patch that touches both lpc_ich and iTCO_wdt when you make the
transition from 'lpc_ich_info' to 'iTCO_wdt_platform_data'.

And it's not like this patch series can be split up and taken through
separate maintainer trees anyway. It all really needs to go through one
tree (whichever one that may be).
