Thanks, I don't have a preference, I'll leave it up to SoC maintainers.
I haven't included the device tree changes in this mini-series, as then
the PM & firmware, clock, and reset mini-series might conflict with each
other in th1520.dtsi file, but SoC maintainers might also find it useful
to pick this commit [1], along with the patch5.
