Hi Carlo,

Hi Maxime,
thank you for reviewing also these patches, I'll keep you in CC for the
next revisions if you are interested.

This is the default, you can just remove it

Agree

Why are all those compatibles needed? Usually, you add a single one
per SoC (which would be the last in your case I guess.

They are taken from the weird DTS in the original Amlogic sources but I
guess you are right. I am actually more inclined to just leave "8726_mx"
and "meson6" since online you can find equally both the versions for
exactly the same SoCs.

And since you don't need the init machine, you can just use the
generic machine support. I'm not sure what's been decided on this,
should we remove such empty machines?

I can get rid of the .init_machine but what about the .dt_compat field?

Thanks,
