it would be nice to preserve such design decision in the driver as a
comment, because the cover letter usually get lost.

I tested your series on top of Linux 5.2-rc1 with multi_v7_defconfig and
manually enable this drivers. During boot with Raspbian rootfs i'm

Unfortunately this makes it harder to test on other boards. So i welcome
your decision to remove it.

Just a note for the future, this make it hard for other reviewers to
follow. I don't really consist of the credits, it is more important to
mention what has changed. But it's not necessary to mention every single
change.
