Hello folks,

With this patch series, we're completely getting rid of 'label = "cpu";'
which is not used by the DSA dt-binding at all.

Information for taking the patches for maintainers:
Patch 1: netdev maintainers (based off netdev/net-next.git main)
Patch 2-3: SoC maintainers (based off soc/soc.git soc/dt)
Patch 4: MIPS maintainers (based off mips/linux.git mips-next)
Patch 5: PowerPC maintainers (based off powerpc/linux.git next-test)

Hi Arınç

So your plan is that each architecture maintainer merges one patch?

Initially, I sent this series to soc@kernel.org to take it all but Rob 
said it must be this way instead.

That is fine, but it is good to be explicit, otherwise patches will
fall through the cracks because nobody picks them up. I generally use
To: to indicate who i expect to merge a patch, and everybody else in
the Cc:

Thanks for this, I'll follow suit if I don't see any activity for a few 
weeks.

IMHO the best solution if the patches are truly independent is to send
them independantly to each maintainer. That way there's no confusion
about whether someone else will take the series.

It's also simpler for maintainers to apply a single standalone patch vs
pick a single patch from a larger series.

cheers
