Well, it sounded like David is OK with this all going through the MIPS

Alternatively I'd be happy for the DT changes to go through the net-next
tree, which may make more sense given that the .dts changes are pretty
trivial in comparison with the driver changes. If David wants to do that
then for patches 1 & 8:

Either way there may be conflicts for ocelot.dtsi when it comes to
merging to master, but they should be simple to resolve. It seems
Wolfram already took your DT changes for I2C so there's probably going
to be multiple trees updating that file this cycle already anyway.Actually, I think Wolfram meant that he took the bindings so you can take the DT patches for i2c.
Ideally I'd say "don't break bisection" but that's sort of a separate issue here since even if you restructure your series to do that it would still need to go through one tree. For example you could adjust mscc_ocelot_probe() to handle either the reg property or the syscon, then adjust the DT to use the syscon, then remove the code dealing with the reg property, and I'd consider that a good idea anyway but it would still probably all need to go through one tree to make sure things get merged in the right order & avoid breaking bisection.
I don't really think bisection is important at this stage but if you don't want to break it, then I guess it makes more sense to have the whole series through net. -- Alexandre Belloni, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
