That's a lot of patches, that span the trees of several maintainers.

What's your expectation for those who should be merging work in this
combined series? Have you had any feedback in that regard?

I'm asking because I need to make a call on what I do with respect to
the Aspeed devicetrees. I think it would clarify responsibility if this
series were split by subsystem. That way I can apply the devicetree
patches and the rest can go through their respective trees.

If there are dependencies that require merging all or none, then it
would be helpful if they were outlined in the cover letter. Even then,
merging the leaves and waiting a cycle might make everyone's lives
easier?
