There are few things to improve in this series, but we can discuss this
as part of defconfig merge

See thread: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/ae2ad056-96de-41b7-8df4-1d9c0f5c469b@app.fastmail.com/
for additional info.

K3 devices is too broad, you want to specify specific boards that will
benefit out of this.

I suggest to keep this as "DONOTMERGE" to indicate this should'nt go via
subsystem maintainer tree (most maintainers are  aware of it, but
explicitly calling it out helps keep things sane)
