I proposed to Stephen to take the patches related to the OLB (clk,
pinctrl and reset) in the clk tree[1]. The following patches could go
through the mips tree:

[PATCH v4 01/13] dt-bindings: mips: Add Mobileye EyeQ6Lplus SoC
[PATCH v4 02/13] dt-bindings: soc: mobileye: Add EyeQ6Lplus OLB
[PATCH v4 03/13] MIPS: Add Mobileye EyeQ6Lplus support
[PATCH v4 10/13] MIPS: Add Mobileye EyeQ6Lplus SoC dtsi
[PATCH v4 11/13] MIPS: Add Mobileye EyeQ6Lplus evaluation board dts
[PATCH v4 12/13] MIPS: config: add eyeq6lplus_defconfig
[PATCH v4 13/13] MAINTAINERS: Mobileye: Add EyeQ6Lplus files

For the two sets of patches to build properly, the OLB dt-bindings patch
(patch 02/13) is present in both as the clk-eyeq driver and the SoC
device tree use the header introduced in it. I don't know if having a
patch in two trees is a valid merge strategy. Any opinion on that?
