What is it exactly that is keeping this patch set from being ready for 6.1?
There's still time...

It mostly looks ok to me, I'm in the process of reviewing it. You
mentioned documentation in the cover letter; I suppose you're talking

mscc,ocelot.yaml, since I know that the conversion process is typically
a bit daunting to even start.
