For reviewers I find the easiest if this is mostly split per subsystem.
There were here few patches for USB, few clk etc, so these easily can be
separate patchsets. All the rest one-liners or one-patch-per-subsystem
could be grouped and set in one patchset, after fixing the threading.

But the moment the patchset grows to 50 it's time to re-think it whether
this grouping is necessary or even beneficial.

This is not a conversion of mach to DT (like ep93xx) which benefits of
doing everything in one step. Therefore my recommendation for this work
is to split it entirely per each subsystem.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
