I didn't CC everyone on patch 1 to this series that copes pic32.h from
the MIPS ASM directory to linux/platform_data/pic32.h. It's available at
the following location if you want to see it:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mips/20260109-mips-pic32-header-move-v1-0-99859c55783d@redhat.com/T/#m1e0e50adfe2ea4bf430025660fada7b1468d0fbf

Patch 12 of this series is where I remove the asm variant of pic32.h.
