nit-pick: one patch uses "arm64: dts: meson-axg: s400" in the subject
while other patches that are touching the s400 board aren't
if you have to re-send this series: can you please use the "arm64:
dts: meson-axg: s400:" prefix for all patches touching the s400 board?

hum, do we really have such rule, or do you think we should add one ?

looking at the git history in arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic: it seems
that we don't have a rule yet, even though some (some of
your's/Neil's/my) patches were using that naming schema in the past

Kevin, do you have opinion ?

Not that I really mind either way, but prefixes rules are usually there to help
maintainer filter the patches. Will such rule help in any way ?

maybe it's just a problem of a false initial impression
I read "arm64: dts: meson-axg: add usb power regulator" in the
cover-letter and came to the conclusion that this patch must be wrong
since meson-axg.dtsi should not have any regulators (unless they're
built into the SoC). only when looking at the patch itself I realized
that it's fine because it patches the s400.dts

I actually had the same first impression problem.  At first glance, it
looks like all the patches are AXG-generic, and only the 2 that mention
s400 apply to the board.

So, if this needs a respin, I'd prefer the board name where appropriate,
but it's not something I'm going to be picky about.
