Uggh.. This is a bit of chicken or hen problem here that creates
bisectability issues (thanks for linux-next for exposing this).

Neha's patch I picked up is a valid fix, though this side effect was
unfortunate.

My suggestion is:
a) I will drop
   https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231016101608.993921-4-n-francis@ti.com/
   from my queue for this window.
b) please identify other places where we could have this situation.
https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruiu1 seems to indicate just SR1.0 for
J7200.

We then have the following steps potentially

Drop the fixes and Maintain both SR2.0 and SR1.0 (add SR1.1) so that
we can merge the socinfo fixes without breaking bisectability.

To merge, the following options exist:
A) netdev maintainers could provide me an rc1 based immutable tag
B) if netdev maintainers can give me a ack to carry this patch(or patch
   series for relevant SoCs) on my tree, I can apply the fixes before
   picking up the socinfo fixups.
C) I can wait a kernel window to the nearest rc1 *after* netdev fixes
   are merged in to pick up socinfo fix.

Once A/B/C is done (I would like netdev maintainers to suggest which way
to go), we can drop the "invalid" SoC SR ID.

I don't see a cleaner way to get this inter-dependency integrated.

Also in the future, please CC me as the reporter and for Soc-fixes
dependency issues (I am listed in the MAINTAINERS file).

FWIW that shouldn't be a problem, assuming my script to do so didn't
bit rot :)

Does it really have to be rc1 or something more recent would work?

Thanks Jakub. SoC tree needs me to send based off rc1 for new features.
I'd rather not mess with that.

Sure if we are doing an fixes pull, we can figure something out to
sync. rc1 saves us the headache of conflict of me sending a PR merge
while netdev maintainers aren't expecting it to be merged to master
via soc tree.

Sounds good, I'll wait for Ravi to respond to you and once we have 
a green light we can plonk the patch on top of rc1.

I will drop the fixes tag then and maintain SR1.0, SR1.1, SR2.0 for J721E
and mention in the commit msg that this is a preparatory patch to fix the
incorrect revision string generation. And in the next cycle, I will
send out a patch removing the invalid revision IDs.

Ideally I would prefer to do this for all the SoCs, but I would need some
time to compile the list. So for now, I will send a v2 targeting only J721E.

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

just do the full list in one shot. it is easier that way than having to
repeat this sync over and over again.
