I haven't seen any follow up on this, have you had a chance to take a
look?
If this won't make it for 5.12 (in a couple of week probably?) would it
make sense to revert 7d981405d0fd ("soc: imx8m: change to use platform
driver") for now?



While looking at the code earlier I also have an unrelated, late-review
on the patch itself:

I appreciate current soc_revision are "small enough" (looking at
include/soc/imx/revision.h we're talking < 256) so this actually works,
but would it make sense to either make soc_rev signed, or to have
soc_revision() return a s64, or have the revision filled in another *u32
argument to make sure the error is an error and not just a large rev?

This is most definitely fine for now but that kind of code patterns can
lead to weird errors down the road.

Thanks,
