So this is the only file starting with mstar. Have you thought about
prefixing infinity/mercury, so that they're grouped together?

I have been thinking about that. I didn't see any other dts in arm that had
the vendor as a prefix though. With arm64 everything is in per vendor
subdirectories
to achieve the same thing.

qcom- and arm- are examples. Admittedly outliers, but for a new target you don't have all the historical backwards-compatibility baggage.

The downside would be if someone wanted to add newer sstar chips under the new name later, then they wouldn't be grouped with predecessor families. Right now it seems like mercury and infinity are not that different, so I figured it might be useful for people contributing patches to see that changes in one might require review of the other.

Cheers,
Andreas
