Actually for an initial merge, we sometimes just put all the patches into one
branch in the soc tree to avoid conflicts. Unfortunately we already have a
(trivial) conflict now anyway since I merged the irqchip driver for the Apple
M1 SoC through the soc tree but the wpcm irqchip through the irqchip tree.

You did nothing wrong here, this would have just been a way to make the
initial merge a bit easier, and have a tree that is more easily bisectible
when one branch in the merge window contains all the code that is
needed for booting.
