I also gave you a reviewed-by on v23, but here it is again:

That being said, it would be really nice to see an integration tree
where this was all tested on mainline (e.g. v5.17, or v5.18-rc)

For example, I can apply this to v5.18-rc2 and boot on my mt8183-pumpkin
board, it fails to probe[1] because there is no CCI node in the upstream
mt8183.dtsi.

I'm assuming this series is also not very useful without the CPUfreq
series from Rex, so being able to test this, CCI and CPUfreq together on
MT8183 on a mainline kernel would be very helpful.
