This series resolves several issues found in testing by Johnny Huang from
ASPEED, who also contributed the patches to fix them. We'll have more patches
from him in the near future (which I'm pretty happy about).

The major issue resolved is the way I grouped the eMMC pins. What I had was
ugly and I want to get rid of it before the binding is solidified with the 5.4
release.
Should some of these go in with fixes? All of them? Or just some?
I applied them to devel right now (for v5.5).
I was hoping to get them into the 5.4 fixes branch: I consider them all fixes - the rework of the eMMC pin groups and functions is a fix for the binding. The rest are fixes for the driver itself. My preference is that they get into a release sooner rather than later.

It's there something that makes you think they shouldn't be merged as fixes for 5.4?

The remaining fixes are minor issues that stem from lack of documentation or
understanding on my part, and at least one brain-fart.
Do they need to go in to v5.4 or not?

I need a shortlist of anything that should go into v5.4 if anything.
IMO all of them should go into 5.4, as above. It's there something I can do in the future to communicate this better? Explicit shortlist in the cover letter? Fixes tags on the relevant patches? Keen to make things easier/more obvious if I can.

Cheers,

Andrew
