Hello,

The v6 dropped some older patches and replaced them with the new
patches. Previously I wanted to postpone the more complex changes for
later times, like supporting OPP tables and DVFS, but then the review
started to take more time than was expected and there was enough time to
complete those features.

There are five basic sets of patches:

	1. DT bindings
	2. DT changes
	3. SoC, clk and memory
	4. devfreq
	5. DRM

Each set could be applied separately.

Memory patches have a build dependency on the SoC and clk patches.

The "tegra-mc: Add interconnect framework" and "Add and use
devm_tegra_get_memory_controller()" are the root build dependencies for
all memory/ patches. Other patches are grouped per SoC generation
(Tegra20/30/124), patches within a SoC-gen group are interdependent.

I suppose the best variant would be to merge the whole series via
tegra-tree in order to preserve logical order of the patches. Although,
merging each set of patches separately also should be okay to do.
